Kindness as the default. If it wouldn't fly in a face-to-face conversation, it does not fly on the network. One thing that keeps HN pleasant is dang's enforcement of good conduct.

Maintaining/Asking for good conduct among educated people

vs

A crowded network of a mix of educated, spammy keyboard warriors is different.

On HN, we mostly have educated people, so with good conduct rules, they all behave well.

On social networks, you see many keyboard warriors and spammy people, where educated people get overshadowed.

no ai bots no social engineering freedom to say whatever you want however you want

- No AI bots; agreed - No social engineering; curious what this means here - you mean no social influencing on any topic? - For freedom, the world always comes down to the jurisdiction and law of your country. If you violate the law, the platform needs to cut .

Freedom as in Free Speech, if you can speak it you can post it. Any form of targetting over the content posted by Government or Private Entities regardless of motive should be condoned. Thus making it an integral part of conservation of democracies where it exists and better tool for voicing concerns where there isn't democracies.

And by Social Engineering, what I meant was no base algorithm implemention for suggestions, just if you follow a topic you'll be able to see all it's post on selection of posts based on what's liked better by others or those who follow you or those who whom you follow. Or a feed spiraled into making you spend time on platform, it should be like Newspaper/Event + Community Responses(excluding bots).
