I don't think accepting that the rest of the Internet became more hostile is a good defense IMO. I understand it's probably a "top of funnel" problem but the fact that it's leaking out here shows that HN needs to evolve with the new norms.

HN's entire thing is to not evolve with the new norms.

Well yes and no. It has an LLM detector now (which has some false positives I've noticed but I'm generally a big fan of.) I'm advocating for changing this position. I understand minimal change but I think the time to not evolve is gone if the forum doesn't want to get blown away by outside trends.
