My gut is telling me it's "belonging".
My general gripe with the level of discourse here isn't necessarily topical as much it is based on my impression that the community has reached some sort of Dunning-Kruger-Dunbar number where the threshold of people knowledgeable in some areas who engage in curious debate in other areas has been breached by people who think the purpose of the site is winning arguments/handwringing and other nefarious actors.
To start a community.
This would be useful. As of right now it looks like HN is leaving that sort of analysis up to its users. Which is fine. But if this is going to be the case then a coordinated effort is necessary to help spring the mods to action.
Your everyday blog is not worth the cost or effort. Nor is a Wikipedia entry.
Established public figures here know how to play it. Everyone else either uses it as a temporary means for virality or are just here to hotbox the forum while it still stands.
In the meantime I hope your filter turns into something you think is worth making public. I have a 'concept of a plan' for an alternative but it would take some time and would not be a Show HN.

Use cases is essentially for medium-sized lectures. Only one or two people should be speaking at a given moment on these occasions.
All in all, I just like seeing a straightforward web app like this. Glad to help.
If this could accommodate around 8 people or so and I had a reason to trust that the communications were secure, I’d have immediate use for it.
It’s Nice though! And the stack sounds cool.
Side note: I’m looking forward to a viable OpenAI competitor to come along and introduce their own chatbot…right now all of the speculation in the LLM area of AI are concentrated to the work of one company…what else can be out there?
Young people! The labor market is turtling…what are we going to do?
Edit: I’m choosing a more tasteful description for the American labor market. Thank you for expressing your distaste with the original one.
Side note: does anyone remember when Vice was “fringe” in its content? I mean, ten or so years ago…
It feels like real dairy is being listed as a necessary casualty to technological/industrial progress at scale and the solutions, such as those that you're introducing, disrupt this sort of progress and its intended benefits. This sort of frustrates me (the theoretical demise of real dairy). I'm picky about my dairy selection as is, but I don't find any comfort in fake dairy (I'm not referring plant, or oat, or nut milk per se, rather lab grown ingredients and anything else that is fermented, stabilized, etc.). I have my own gripes with the dairy industry, but the mere thought of synthetic alternatives becoming the norm irritates me.
How all of this is made to become appealing only upsets me further. I want to get off of this ride!
