This problem has been solved for years, and yet no platforms implement it: K-Means Clustering https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-k-means-clustering-in-machine-learning-6a6e67336aa1 https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-k-means-cluster... The property "interesting" is an individual decision. A forum like HN could implement K-Means Clustering instead of having dang madly moderating stuff. Over time, those HN users interested in "technologically interesting stuff" would aggregate together, and generally only see posts that are "voted up" by others in their cluster. All the other crap would be seen by all those HN users that migrated over from 8chan. The problem with this, of course, is that HN would be full of all sorts of sickening crap that you and I would never see (or, at least, until a small sampling of us saw it, and all down-voted it into the 8chan netherworld). The great thing about this -- the FBI, et.al. would have much better tools to do their jobs: they could troll these seedy underbellies of HN, etc., and actually spear-phish and destroy the scum that is posting repellent garbage. Or, we could carry on doing what we're doing, even though it can't work. Our choice.
