This is the one thing I dislike about Hacker News. We have a diverse and talented commentariat that loses all interest in a topic after 2-3 days max, with no long-term discourse. Perhaps this is by design - a pressure release valve? But it does feel less of a venue for conversation, and more like running down a platform trying to talk to someone whose train is leaving.

We regularly have [2015] flags on articles, in that regard this place is probably better than 99% of the internet.

After all, an article is to inform the current audience, and debates should not last forever.

It’s the lack of notifications and an inbox showing new replies to your comments. I miss 90% of the replies to my comments until it’s way too late to reply in turn.
