Tell HN: The Decay and Fall of HN

3•zkmon•1h ago
Today I suddenly woke up to the fact that HN is quickly changing. The average poster on HN is extremely wary of someone posting AI-assisted content. Real human posts are being labelled as AI slop and hurting the people who usually write in a formal tone that resembles AI output.

Ofcouse, HN is not too different from other social forums which are also affected by the similar problem. I don't see HN to be insulated from these issues. The existing moderation strategies do not seem to withstand. The forum would get flooded by trivial-natured, trigger-happy shallow commenters who value a few likes, instead of being themselves, or challenge the status-quo.

You get the point. I'm not sure if something can be done, or should be done, to resist that.

You forgot the voting rings, any post or comment that goes against some people's politics or opinios immidiately gets downvoted and removed, and its making me come to HN and spend time less and less each time.
