You're literally doing it right now, my comment got flagged, lol...

Don't bother suggesting innovation in HN, it hasn't been updated in 10+ years, and for some reason they're proud of that fact.

HN is regularly being updated and improved. The ability to vouch for dead comments wasn’t here 10 years ago. Undoing accidental downvotes wasn’t possible. Moderation was much less active back then too, and it shows, detaching comment threads/moderating titles have been two great additions keeping the quality of discussion high even though this place has hundred times the amount of active users as ten years ago (I’m guessing)

No it's not, nor is it growing anywhere near what you guess it's growing at. I'd guess it's stagnant or even dying a bit in 2019.

HN has been growing at the same rate for many years. There was an initial spike and since then it's been linear, with up and down swings along the way.
