No, you are not alone. But what do you propose? Like danielha said, some stories are more interesting to talk about than others. On the features page, I suggested separating ask news.yc posts into another area, so they don't move off the front so fast and perhaps get more discussion going as a result. However, no one has really up voted that suggestion. Another alternative is to have a different site that is more of a message board like webmasterworld, but for hackers. After all, this is Hacker News, not Hacker Discussion. This is evident in the fact that it is geared more towards new links than open discussion topics.
- aston 19y agoI disagree about not everything being interesting to talk about. If anything's worth reading, I think it's worth sharing your thoughts on. If you vote it up, you must think it resonates well. Even sharing the reason why would be interesting to others. If you don't vote it up, something must be wrong with it. Et cetera.
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoI think we are in agreement here. I just don't find myself upvoting that many stories, and I generally try to comment on those I do. So I was just basically saying the ones I don't think are interesting to talk about are the ones I'm not upvoting. Obviously there isn't an exact 1 to 1, but generally that is the case, at least for me.
- dood 19y agoIt would be nice to have a discussion-thread-only view. There appears to be a lot of people who know a lot of things, and a lot of people learning, it'd be great to get them all communicating more.
