Maybe, but this was a convo during "American" hours and largely in the American context.
Late afternoon PST/EST tends to be when Asian and European HN is sleeping.
Asian HN seems to start up around 10-11pm PST, European HN seems to peak around 3am-7am PST, and "Global" HN seems to be around 7am-10am PST.
You based your comment on the current time around the world? :)
Maybe the person you responded to was up late or early or was referring to people who might be asleep. Do they not exist if they are asleep?

Yep! HN's tone has massive shifts depending on the time of usage, and basically turns into entirely different forums.

That's more of a Descartes question than a me question /s
But yea fair.
