Disclaimer: Not saying what should be, just what is.
I don't come to HN for updates on current events, I come here for the interesting commentary. I do not agree with the 'Vigilante' threads, which will be flagged, but news threads with a healthy discussion have some value.
Have you looked at the comments on any news site article?
This may not be in line with HN's intended goal, but it's a side effect akin to bringing critical minds to the water cooler conversation.
- superbaconman 14y agothere's so much everyday news hitting hn that I only ever read the new section. the hn community has become too large and its interests too generalized. the lack of focus on personal projects and introductions to new technology is destroying the once highly specialized community. if mods don't start guiding the topics I'm afraid hn won't have anything left to offer. topics like the events the unfolded this week are important, but their discussion is more suited to Reddit. it would be hard for anyone to argue the same level of discussion doesn't happen on Reddit, though I conceed you won't get any karma for it.
