i meant inclusive within the bounds of hn's goals. there are still sub communities; eg: dev hackers, startup idea folks. no one is necessarily wrong in their interpretation of hn's community and submission policy. sometimes it is not that the level of comments has gone down but that the amount of comments has gone up. this is bad for the morale of commenter, to say nothing of the time readers waste (since without collapsible threads...). maybe after 20 comments no one should be able to comment. i'm not advocating homogeneity so much as customized views. as the community grows it becomes harder to be a part of it. there's a social quality i'm trying to explain...and a concern for how exclusion is implemented... but i've spent far too much time on hn today as it is, so i'll let it rest.
