Yeah, I appreciate HN not having a notification system for replies unlike Reddit, but even so there's some pressure to reply quickly more than deeply. I'd be very interested in seeing a discussion forum that's intentionally much slower, e.g., having replies only show up at the next hour or half-hour.

One thing you'd want to be careful about is letting people say "This is obviously wrong" and having something to that effect show up quickly, so you don't waste a bunch of people's time replying with the same thing.
