I disagree. It is a community, we want it to be a community, and we work hard to make it more of a community.

There's a fear here of the "community" on the part of you and HN. You may not realize it, but you treat it at least somewhat in an adversarial way. That cannot ever be a healthy community.

Part of the issue is HN is too broad. Whatever goes here, really. Communities that work are focused on specific things.

So trust you that it doesn't get abused? Nope.

I don't think I said anything about trust? No doubt it does get abused. We do what we can to counteract that.
