I feel the community "quality" has always been pretty low and hive mindy.

How can it be true that the community is a hive mind, but also that every discussion is a (sometimes 5-layer-deep) argument? If it were a hive mind, wouldn't there be little argument at all?

There is no argument when the opinions being expressed are not of the hive mind it gets downvoted and flagged. You never see dissenting opinions because they're removed from the site.

What is HN’s most natural comparison? Slashdot? They are less nice, as smart, with a lot more 4chan going on now days.
