- Quarrelsome 6y agoWe shouldn't be like that. Tailoring for the crowd just becomes a game of "who can invite more of their friends". The tone of this place _should_ be curated. We're tech, we're educated, we're start ups. If we lose that, we lose our soul.
- pmiller2 6y agoSorry, but, you've got it all wrong. "We" are whoever shows up.
- Quarrelsome 6y agoYes and no. We should have standards.
- pmiller2 6y agoOkay, so, "we" are educated, tech/startup people. How do you want to enforce these standards? Sign up with a work email and submit a LinkedIn profile? That's just Blind with an extra step, and I think we all know the quality of discussion that happens there.
- Quarrelsome 6y agogenerational shift is always going to change the culture but we should attempt to prevent Hacker News from sliding into the general patterns of other social media. We should talk about tech, we should talk about business, we should care about curiosity and shoot the shit without taking things personally.
- baby 6y agoWhy me? I think the moderators and YC should choose what they want to see here.
