Hacker News is healthy in that it has a number of interesting links, these can be found in the new section not the upvoted section.
The actual discussion is medicore for the most part and heavily policed.
- sankalpb 7y agoHey, I'm curious what makes having 'a number of interesting links' an indicator of being 'healthy' as an online community? Also, what makes a discussion 'mediocre' for you?
- mdorazio 7y agoI kind of agree and frequent the New section daily. However, I've noticed a trend that New is increasingly filled with what looks like a lot of auto-submitted content from large media companies and Medium authors. Finding quality links is getting more difficult. That could just be a perception, however.
