i feel like every news source, forum, link aggregator, ... has its own target audience and scope of topics that make for productive discussion, its own biases and predispositions, its own trolls and need for pruning and moderation.

i feel like yes of course there are many things i disagree with on this site. but ultimately i value the information shared and the discussion enough to keep coming back. any relationship where people always agree there is probably only one person doing the actual thinking.

i have learned so much about tech here, i have learned about many best practices and projects that i would have never heard of, i have made no bones about my thoughts on various subjects that could easily be classified as touchy, i have really enjoyed the discourse. for the time being i definitely plan and hope to continue doing so.

(so while this site is an interesting artifact, and maybe it is good that someone is taking a look and keeping a record, i personally won't bother unless/until i see a pressing need. at which point i will maybe just move on instead tbh.)

I think you're going to see people start leaving Reddit as the IPO approaches and many will be coming to HN or other reddit-clones.

Half the comments on Reddit really do seem to be made by bots, you can easily tell when you look at their post history.
