Yeah, I've started very slowly accumulating a list of HN commenters who say nonobvious things that I find value in. Occasionally I'll browse through their comment history, and I'm trying to train myself to recognize when they show up in a comment section. It would be nice to have the site automate some of that. But I recognize that it's tough to do without reinforcing an echo chamber.
I don't even wish for a site that would only show me my "blessed community". I like the general commentary to be pretty widely scattered, but I (1) don't want to miss the larger bits of signal, and (2) want to improve my overall cost::benefit ratio. I also definitely don't want the base level to be too widely scattered, or more specifically, too low of an average value.
