3. One tool used by other outlets is a scheduled discussion for specific topics. Conventions such as "X day" or "Y month" (e.g., Mother's Day, Black History Month, Earth Day, Pride Month) afford opportunities for such discussions. HN has monthly "who's hiring" and "who wants to be hired" threads, the though occurs that other periodic reviews, monthly, quarterly, annually, etc., might be possible. And of course, members can always take advantage of existing signifier days to attempt to amplify their own message(s).

4. That's a relatively high rate for a non-tech issue, by comparison, housing/homelessness: 103, poverty: 50, racism: 6, ozone: 9, censorship: 117, surveillance: 375. By year:
