>find another community without high standards for replies I think you're generally right about post quality on HN, but don't confuse capricious voting culture with high standards. HN might have high standards, but you see it more in well thought-out replies which generate further discussion, than in the occasional greyed-out post which, in my experience, is usually a very poor indicator of the actual quality of the post. It's mostly a good indicator of what sort of person happened to read it first, and little else.
