It'd be great if there was an axe taken to the negativity around HN.

The mods are proactive though, and it's a high quality place to get insights into the "content behind the content". It's a great source of a lot of realizations about tech and life.

I've had to create my own filter and HN has finally become readable again. I'm blocking/hiding around 100-200 posts a day.
