Hacker news is sadly a community where Posts, and conversations die quickly. Without features like notifications no one would ever come back to notice the comments like this. There are other choices that could be made to enable conversations to live on and grow versus flame out and die.
Without such features the same conversations Will need to be repeated again and again as I see you so often here and exactly the same way, but never to progress forward. Much like our society itself.
Hacker news is one of my main sources of information, so it is definitely better than other even worse options. But it is sad that despite my reading over 500 posts a week,
I almost never comment or participate in conversations because the way I consume hacker news is slow. It’s sad and I wish I could affect it, but I can’t because no one will ever read this comment.
I don’t know why I am posting this, just speaking to myself so cathartic perhaps.
