>I think it says something about how the character of HN has changed in the last ten years--there's no longer an assumption that the people on the other end of the wire assume curiosity and good will.

The internet as a whole has diverged from assuming good faith, between polarizing politics, the rapid increase of bots, and general shift of popular sentiment over the decade. And there's also a lot more people online, so it's much harder to moderate for that even if you wanted to.

It's an inevitability since this site's moderation hasn't scaled with its user base.

Right, there's a scale problem, among other things.

I want the invite-only system of Lobsters, with the actually good moderation of HN. I think that would help with some of the issues, here and on other platforms.
