Social media is a mess and there is no such thing as a curated freedom. This is the first thing to acknowledge. Some loose thoughts that came up while reading your post: - What makes people interesting and how do imagine that being 'measured'? - Pick one > I don't want this to be a big circle jerk > a place where people like Gandhi, Einstein, Picasso and Shakespeare could raise important questions,[...] - Who's the gatekeeper? Who are you to judge? I don't have the feeling you thought this through. It's good that you articulated your idea and put it together into a post, but as for your question: I don't think it would work nor would I join in. Maybe an interesting question/ approach for you might be: Assume HN is NOT accidentally like this. On a different note, HN is different to other social media and forums, but it is not as elite and filled with exceptional people as you indicated you think. I can only speak for myself with certainty but I can assure you, I'm not exceptional:)
