HN still suffers from what I call the "Everyone is an idiot but me" mentality. There is also a bit of outrage from time to time about small things. But the fact that it is the worst that happens here is saying a lot though. HN really is very well moderated and the guidelines are concise, reasonable, and simple to understand. It really helps that HN has a narrow set of topics. No idea how this could possibly scale to the size of twitter.
- pixl97 4y agoHN doesn't scale because at the end of the day we can fall back to tech and moderate everything else out of existence. Politics poof gone. Celebrities poof gone. Sports poof gone. Religion poof gone. HN simply doesn't have to deal with the above in a general manner which removes a massive number of issues.

- batiudrami 4y agoCertainly as soon as you move away from talking about programming there aer a bunch of people here who talk like they're experts but are absolutely incorrect. Which is a worry because I only notice it for things I already know about (process engineering and railway design/operation).
