But yeah, that was my first thought as well. :(

More like Bluesky in the sense that it's a niche app popular among parts of the "tech scene," in particular the un-HN-like parts. I don't think there's a direct Chinese equivalent to Hacker News, but https://v2ex.com/?tab=all might come closest.
>the un-HN-like parts What do you mean by "un-HN-like parts"?
Every guild or community should have a high quality discussion forum like hackernews. But assuming you can translate the learnings from Hackernews to another platform, how exactly would you ensure high quality?
Buy a clone of dang. Or several.
Being a "benevolent dictator" moderator is the ideal model: you have clear values, a clear strategy, an overview over everything, and the unbridled power to execute. Benevolent dictatorships don't scale the moment you need more than exactly one such benevolent dictator. dang's clone will have all I mentioned above except probably slightly different of everything and now exactly half of the power to execute. And that's where it gets close to impossible to exercise the "correct" and desired level of power to support the individual values, overview, strategy.
When you need 1000 moderators it becomes a crapshoot if the moderation you get is any good. And the community is only as good as the worst mods and users that are allowed in it.

Hacker news is great but it's not a social platform. Hard to follow someone, hard to chat, hard to form groups discussing various topics. It would be nice to have features of hacker news and reddit combined.

Every subreddit with a large following eventually turns into a complete meme fest with low quality comments and trolls. But the smaller subreddits still offer good value.

Not a fan of Corporate Memphis? ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis But yeah, that was my first thought as well. :(
Didn't know about it, looks like a great smolweb concept!

This is missing the elephant in the room that HN is not the (or maybe even a ) money bringer for YCombinator. Were this the golden goose for a publicly traded company, the decision process could quickly shift to "make me money or GTFO".

What’s the value? Try set up a competitor and guess at how much it’ll cost to get all the seriously top shelf users on there.

A ton of moderators
Good social media needs good moderation.
