For sure - one of my main takeaways from our ShowHN is that there's a ton of reasonable concern around login, telemetry, and open source that we need to address. We are going to come back to HN as we do that.
The HN community has a different default perspective than I have on a lot of these issues, but a perspective that matters to a ton.
The specific concerns identified here can be thought of as symptoms. I invite you to contemplate what cause they might share. Addressing specific issues around telemetry, openness, and logins without fixing the underlying organizational concerns will leave you playing whack-a-mole forever.
Since you get our collective concerns, I look forward to seeing how you address the organizational issues here.
