We’re posting mod comments to uphold the guidelines every day in threads about all kinds of topics, which anyone can see by looking at our comment feeds. There are posts about AI all the time here because it’s the biggest topic in technology and even the world right now. Some topics/discussions are negative and many are very positive, reflecting the broader discourse. We’re curating the content all the time to provide a good balance of topics and perspectives. By statistical trends and what we observe in the quality of the best posts and discussions, HN is the healthiest it’s been in years.

But one of your central complaints was about the guidelines, which have been constant for nearly two decades, so we’re just not having a serious conversation here. We’re always looking for signs that indicate if and how we can be doing better, but this interaction has nothing to grab onto.
