Let's say HN were full of edgy comments, memes and flame wars.

Some people would like that version of HN more, others less. I probably would close my account.

There might not be a version of this site that would please everybody.

Ackshually, edgy meme websites with no moderation don't have any flame wars since everyone there is on the same page.

Flame wars are in places like HN where moderation is heavily one sided and arbitrary, while pretending to be objective and inclusive.
