The reason the words "on hacker news" is missing from that statement is the karma system. I am describing echo chambers.
- xigoi 2y agoNo way that people on a tech-focused forum like a technology designed for power users! Must be an echo chamber!
- pockmarked19 2y agoHey! Thanks for asking what I would do to make it better. First, of course, the karma system has to go - scoring can still exist without being visible and therefore pressuring people to be performative. In addition to that, I would adjust the rankings to show not only the most popular posts but also some of the most controversial ones (controversy being defined as least agreement among voters). These are changes that will alienate many, however, and unlikely to be incorporated by a platform that amount to a content marketing tool for an investment group.
