I don't think that's necessarily true. HN is one of the few survivors that has maintained its dignity due to the policies and work of the moderation team.
I've run huge forums and they have mostly enshittified because I didn't put the work into moderating them correctly. I would promote good users to moderators, and six months later they would all literally become Hitler and I would have to fire them, and then they become weaponized and the destruction of the site becomes circular.
- soarerz 3y agoIts not because HN has better moderation/policy than others. Its because HN never needs to hit DAU/revenue goals.
- qingcharles 3y agoThis helps, but the sites I ran never comingled revenue goals with content moderation and they still enshittified.
