| Everyone feels Eternal September sooner or later. I recommend blocking users on this site. Having hit about 800 or so blocks I find that the conversation quality has skyrocketed. You still get one or two low quality users on a thread like this (I hadn’t blocked this guy) but the truth is that it’s usually a few people. Any time a user gives me a flash of annoyance with a nonsensical comment that’s the last time I see them. This isn’t a native feature but Claude will implement it for you in a really short amount of time. If you want a feature set to copy or a list of users to seed, you can just copy mine (in profile). |

| ▲ | mh- 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, unfortunate that it's come to that, but I think you're right. I started to write a comment about having some (additional) ideas for a Chrome extension, clicked your profile, watched the YouTube video. Fantastic. I think it already does everything I wanted. Thank you for making and open sourcing this! |

| Everyone feels this way about HN at some point, it is normal. It is probably true that the user base has grown and so you see more low-value comments in absolute numbers as time goes on, but I still think the overall quality is decent and the community moderation solid. It is also a Friday afternoon, and HN's weekend (and to some extent overnight) 'personality' is noticeably different than during typical business hours. I enjoy coming here on weekends but it gets a bit more wacky. |

| What do you mean? All of the comments that misunderstand the study are downvoted from what I see. |
