This is great to see on the front page and I hope it positively influences the culture here. HN is larger than it used to be and it's harder to ask "stupid sounding" questions and get meaningful, civil engagement than it used to be. You are more likely to get guff for it than used to be the case.
I fell in love with HN because of the quality of the discussion which was rooted in a sincere attitude of "There are no stupid questions" (assuming you were asking in good faith and not trolling or sea lioning or something like that).
And I'm not enjoying HN as much as I used to and I think part of it is I love asking the "stupid" questions and getting real answers from knowledgeable people and I feel like that's much harder to find than it used to be.
- def_true_false 5y agoHey, thanks for this comment. Do you know of other places besides HN that also have this combination of "no stupid questions" and quality discussion?
- DoreenMichele 5y agoI don't know. HN seems like the gold standard in that regard though you might be able to find some reddits that suit you that do a fair job for the topic in question.
