You'll see that is a problem here too... Turn on 'showdead' in your profile and you'll see them that get moderated away. Even the trivial posting of jokes and rather content free - it is the community and the moderation that the community does that is there. You can make a restricted subreddit where only people who are subscribers can post (though anyone can read). https://www.reddit.com/r/modguide/comments/dt2qgr/private_restricted_or_public_subreddits/ https://www.reddit.com/r/modguide/comments/dt2qgr/private_re... You can make a subreddit such that only people who have been flared can post more than once a day with external bots doing moderation and then as a moderator add/remove flares to people who contribute. You can have a sub not show up in /r/all. There is a lot of tooling that can be created and added to subs to get it to fit the moderation that is desired... it just takes work. I would contend that it will take a less work to get a reddit sub to have the community and to match the moderation desired as it would be to launch a site with custom coding that has the desired tooling and community.

Tbh, I see few dead comments these days.

      My post was 3h prior to yours. The bottom is now on page 6 and 7 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33463908&p=6 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33463908&p=6 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33463908&p=7 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33463908&p=7 Or you could pull up a new thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33474681 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33474681 has one... and if there's anything web3, you can be sure to find at least one there - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33469978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33469978 The structure of HN works to de-empahisize such posts. The Algorithm of HN is anit engagement after a certain point (compare to being able to sort by controversial on Reddit). The thing is that flagged and dead posts are there, but they tend to be harder to find by design. In more "engaging" posts (pull up any hot web3 one) and there'll be some... or a post about any personality.

        FWIW I did look at the "current" bottom of your link - I found a handful of dead out of 1300 comments. Did you see an order of magnitude different? Ed: again, I didn't say "none", I said "few".
