I've always thought there should be better filters on here, for example I don't think answers with many up and down votes should be censored but I think there should be a filter for that if you don't want it. i.e. dead posts shouldn't be quite as extremely dead as they currently are.
To be fair the corollary is that you already know what you are getting from this place so probably sticking to purer tech topics on a tech accelerator's forum is fair enough. Interesting the these things overlap of course as I suspect will become ever more common.

You may already know this, but you can turn showdead on in your profile, which lets you see dead posts easily.
I will say that 95+% of the time the dead comments I see have earned their status, but I could see a case for decreasing the grayness for downvoted comments or making it a configurable option.
