Humans are still human, even here on HN. I think dang has said stuff like "When it's pouring everywhere, it gets wet in here too." Or something along those lines. HN suffers more these days from Eternal September than it used to because it's bigger than it used to be and I'm guessing it likely grew a lot during the pandemic because so many Reddits grew dramatically while everyone was working remotely and social isolating etc. I'm guessing it will calm down again some at some point. It's certainly been bumpier than usual the last couple of years. I try hard to avoid engaging with the stuff I don't want to see more of. Sometimes that's hard but it's in the guidelines and it's a best practice etc.
