Have you never turned HN back 10 years and stared in awe at how much better the community was back then? Even in relatively "niche" communities like these, it happens.
- ironSkillet 4y agoThis is surprising to me because I view HN as one of the highest quality online communities I frequent. What has gotten worse in your opinion?
- WHA8m 4y agoI've spend hours upon hours with Algolia on several years old HN threads. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that it was better back then. Lots of threads had replies that would get light light grey real fast these days - not because they were controversial, but they just didn't bring any value to the table. Edit: Something that came to my mind right after hitting 'reply': Maybe the share of technical threads to political/ psychological/ religious/ philosophical/ news/ etc. threads was bigger in comparison... If that's a downgrade for you, then I could understand your position.
