- sam_lowry_ 6y agoI ran a smaller one-size-fits-all community for 15 year. I have two things to share: First, running an open-for-all community empowers moderators and owners. You really feel like god, able to juggle people and opinions left and right. Then, as it scales, you either automate or die. I have chosen to die. Many others did like me, but Zuck have chosen to automate. He continued the race to the bottom that so many of us, little kings of luttle universes, decided to abandon.

I'm also a huge fan of dang's writing. The majority of the super-impressive comments I've read on HN have been his, I think! They're exemplars of thoughtfulness, emotional intelligence, fairness, patience, and plain good writing.
