Or have glass walls. Facebook's growth rate is enormous, but it still retains its character because your personal Facebook's growth rate is actually rather small.
Not that this has any obvious parallels to HN.
- ivankirigin 18y agoMaking it easy to track users I know would make me read and upvote their comments more. Letting me ignore someone (and making them invisible to the public if enough people ignore them) is another wall.
- frisco 18y agoI think that this would just skew the leaderboard. Everyone would be following the famous members of HN (pg, bucheit, etc), and locally popular users would be distant seconds, while the normal user would make up a long tail of comparatively low karma.
- ivankirigin 18y agoI'm pretty high on the leaderboard (~30) and don't think the order of the top 100 matter. I wouldn't mind being removed from the list. Submissions matter more than comments. Also, the age of your account will matter more as the site grows.
