Hm, I couldnt reproduce on firefox mac. Which version of firefox are you on? can you open the network inspector to see if you're hitting the api?

Firefox 155.0.1 Linux/x86_64 with uBlock Origin enabled. https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js is blocked by uBlock, while https://hcker.news/api/reply-notifications/config and https://hcker.news/api/comments/49662990?include_user_stats=... return 403. Perhaps it's Cloudflare that's doing the blocking.

Fixed it, it should work now.

I would love to have hn more curated.

The AI spam is part of the issue, but not only. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses, but it feel like HN posts and comments quality have dropped significantly compared to ~5 to 10 years ago.

It used to have a lot more really technical subjects, with comments from experts on the topic.

Now days it seems to be a lot more of "hot takes with little nuance from people who have read at most half a Wikipedia page on the topic". And the content itself, being more generalist and less specialized, is no longer unique to HN.

Quality posts and comments do still occur, but they fill more and more needle in an haystack.

This site can’t be reached The connection was reset. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

I'm guessing this is a cloudflare issue? Try again, I turned bot protection off. The site was getting flooded by requests from bot scrapers.

Working now!
