I am not aware of another forum in today's Internet that has discussion quality (or moderation quality for that matter) even comparable to HN.

- Seirdy 5y agoI listed a few in the first paragraph, and a few relatively inactive ones near the bottom for a more slow-paced conversation.
- kadendogthing 5y agoHe gave a few examples, but to be honest HN filters for quantity over quality with topic discussion. It cargo cults academia but isn't actually very academic or novel. Spread out your thoughts in a PG style manner and make sure it's emotionally sparse and you're good. You can literally say nearly anything here, even to the point of it being disingenuous or hateful and it will stand.
- zozbot234 5y agoIt's hard to be very academic when discussions are as massive and short-lived as on HN. I think of Lobsters as a lot more academic than HN, and the fact that so very few people have posting privileges there is clearly a part of that.
