Anecdotally I think you also see:
1. An increase is Ask HN posts that a short time ago wouldve only been on Stack Overflow
2. An increase in low quality meme comments that a short time ago wouldve only been on Reddit
That leads me to believe that HN is one of the last the safe harbours for tech minded folks as SO and Reddit continue to decline in quality.

- bnchrch 3y agoFair rule, but I think in context here, it's a valid point. If HN wants to show some data on comment quality overtime that refutes it I'd been keen to eat my words.
- jytechdevops 3y agoreddit I can agree. SO I can't agree because they gate keep so damn hard that I never had much of a chance to actually join or feel part of the community since I started programming 2 years ago. I feel like they've alienated a generation of potential younger participants due to its culture.
