One of the positive aspects of this community to me is that responses are usually well-considered and (often) considerate. I worry that a near real-time response mechanism will affect the quality of discourse adversely. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
- akkartik 18y agoI tried it out for a few days. It's a chat room, nothing to do with HN. It gets its share of random people typing in test messages, and the odd troll trying to get a rise out of folks. There's some networking, but not much. Zero conversation interesting to anyone outside of the 2 or 3 people participating at any time. I suggested to the folks that they include a link back here. People seem to get there without knowing of HN.
