HN is for everyone, trying to have 1:1 real-time conversations in a forum like this is selfish and rude to the community. I come here largely to avoid people that want to “have conversations” The rest of the community does not want to read your conversations, they are interested in good information.. and the only way to have lots of good information is to get rid of the cruft. Or put another way, the discussions are good because back and forth is discouraged. When you make a comment you should ask yourself whether this benefits the community. If it doesn’t then you want to hold off on those type of comments.
