To be honest, I also think that the discussion has become more interesting than what I wrote in the article. I have learned quite a few things for myself. And on top of that it has been great to hear some feedback in regards to some thoughts that I wrote.
There are more articles available in my blog than I have shared here. I don't think that everything that I write is shareworthy on HN. There are some that I find to be more interesting. Those are the ones I end up sharing.
Like you have noticed, I try to share other interesting resources that I find online too. Is there a ratio of self/others content that would help keeping a healthy community?
- wltr 1y agoI don’t consider HN a healthy community, so I believe this approach of self-promoting the only sane thing to actually deal with this website. So, no real judgement from me. I just find it curious that apparently some mod banned you, but this time it was too late, since the discussion became somewhat interesting. If it was some other website, I’d say that if you post many of your own posts yourself many community members won’t be happy. I’d say go with not 50% but, say, at least 20% or even 10%. Again, my personal opinion of this website, it’s long beyond repair (if it ever was), so feel free to do whatever you want, unless some whims of mods ban you for no real reason one day.
- EPendragon 1y agoYeah, I don't even think I 100% understand how the algorithm and moderation works here. I will consider to bring in more content that is other than my own. I did read the guidelines for HN, and I saw that it encourages members to share what they find, and occasionally their own stuff. Appreciate your opinion!
