Don't forget timezones: there's distinct "US" and "UK" phases to this site.

...and Eu phases, too (similar to UK phase, but sadly bollocksed by language[s]).

It's clearly the best name, and (if I wasn't keeping away from all similar products for my own sanity) I would be sad that they changed away from it.
Hacker News is incredibly fickle with what gets traction here; some days you'll have the site chock full of "US government trying to ban E2E" stories and other days they'll be sleeping on the exact same thing. I have a suspicion that HN is split into two audiences:
- Hobbyists, that use the website at random times of the day and get very worried about legal compliance and governance changes
- Businesspeople, that use the website when they're off work and don't care about any of that because they know they can just lobby away the things that hurt them specifically
Depending on which group is using the site at the time, HN's systemic biases change dramatically.
