Hacker News Reader

The "come and go" and "nothing lasts forever" aspects really really put me off. I have an archival personality. I frequently remember a conversation I had five years ago and look it up to re-read it. (This is also one of the many reasons I dislike Mastodon.) I chance across conversations from ten years ago and reply to them.

My first "social media" was h2g2, and everything since has been a downgrade.

If you're an archivist sort of individual, I imagine this would definitely not be your cup of tea.

For what it's worth though, If you're the poster of the thought, the post along with responses are available to you forever. They just 'die' from the point of view of the collective.

Of course, I understand this doesn't necessarily speak to your specific 'needs' but it is an overlap I kept in because I do resonate with your desired approach.

Different things work for different people. I don't think this is for me, but it is very interesting. I like the look of it, and the ideas behind it are cool.
