I'm not the poster you asked, but I think I agree with him and interpreted his post as a rejection of the proposed solutions, not a rejection of the assertion of a problem.
Having only been here about 500 days, I'm newish, but it seems like quality is degrading. I don't see why your solutions would fix that. The only thing I can think of that might be interesting to examine is advogato's model.
In the end, it's a hard problem. People want to hang out and discuss news items with all their friends, not just the ones we wish they'd bring around to show up.
- tptacek 16y agoI buy Joel Spolsky's take on this, which is that there are software features that improve communities and software features that degrade communities. They may not be the sole determinants of community quality, but they exist. Do you think Hacker News has identified all of the low-hanging fruit already, or do you disagree with Joel Spolsky on this point? (Or is there a third option I'm missing?)
- djcapelis 16y agoI agree that better features field better community, I only disagree with all the features listed in the poll. I don't have a better concise idea right now, but I will think about it sometime I am not waiting in a foreign airport and see if there's something I can suggest.
