Did your platform permit LaTeX in comments?
To get profound discussions, the discussions need to be able to delve towards the fundamentals, i.e. towards both mathematics on one hand and the basic sciences on the other (physics, chemistry).
I yearn for a HN for scientific papers, and while there are often comments by actual physicists, mathematicians, chemists,... on HN, there is a lot of "science fan boy" noise.
If actual mathematicians and scientists can not use the notation systems they are familiar with, the platform is doomed to word salad.
Growing up I once saw a piece of graffiti in the city's dead center, it read either:
"Every system creates
the bullshit it deserves"
or:
"Every system deserves
the bullshit it creates"
I can't remember which exactly.
