I think there is a fundamental disconnect in this response. What the user is asking for is for a procedural and cultural change. What you’ve come up with is a technical solution that kind of mimics a cultural change.
I don’t think it’s wrong, but I also don’t think we can really “AI generate” our way into better communities.
Simonw’s response is the right response. You should not bend the community to your will simply because you do not like the majority of the posts. Obviously many people do like those posts, as evidenced by them making the front page. Instead, find ways to avoid the topics you do not desire to read without forcing your will on people who are happy with the current state.
Let me stop folks early, don’t make comparisons to politics or any bullshit like that. We’re talking only about hacker news here.
