Meta HN: About the quality of discussion or rather the lack therof
4 by mrleiter | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Dear HN, over recent months I have felt that the quality of the discussions has fallen below previous levels in terms of subject-related talk. Specifically, I find it annoying that more and more top comments or top replies to top comments are puns and/or variations thereof. A good laugh is healthy, I agree. But, to me, HN feels more and more like reddit. Phrases like "I'll probably get downvoted for..." are nonsensical, as it does not help a meaningful discussion at all. So, I ask of you - do you have the same feeling? Kind regards,
