It feels like why subreddits or /pol/ exist: to segregate that to a place where people are most interested.

  HN is a non-siloed site, meaning we don't have subreddits, or any of the other ways that large communities segregate themselves. Here we're all in one big room together, like it or not. It's always been that way and I think it's part of its DNA. This has advantages and disadvantages, as with all such design choices, but it's good to be conscious of what one's design actually is, since otherwise one might end up fucking with the DNA, which doesn't seem like a great idea. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098

    >fucking with the DNA This is the first time I've "heard" you curse. I don't know, it was just a little jarring. Not in a bad way. Just... different, I guess. Well done.

      Predictability is bad for curiosity :) I was going to link you to https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20fuck&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... but it looks like most of those are quoting other people.

      Looks like he started using "fuck" outside of quotes in 2016. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=4&prefix=true&query=fuck%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=4&prefix=true&que... Understandable.
