- reaperducer 6y agoI'm a youngster compared with most people's tenure on HN, but I've noticed a change in the place since the planet went into lockdown. I'm not going to get into the changes I observe because I don't want to start a long, off-topic thread. But I think if you pay close enough attention, you can see changes in HN over short periods of time. Even between weekdays and weekends, HN changes.
- saagarjha 6y agoAlso a fairly new account, but I would say that the changes on the site seem to be mostly based on topics rather than community. The pandemic has changed the makeup of the front page and thus the average conversation of the site as a whole.
