I think you've been downvoted because HN is already among the most "healthy" designed social sites out there, if not the top, so pointing out it could be "healthier" still is a bit of an eye roll. I mean yeah sure but really? It's already as deliberately spartan as it can get. You don't even get notified of comment replies. If someone's degree of self control is so poor they are addicted to HN it's not HN that should change, it's the user that needs to develop some modicum of self control and discipline. |

I don't agree. Minimalism (feature-wise) does not equal a better design (or a healthier one for that matter)
This is not a "Chair" (more like a flood...). By definition, People with "issues" (like in this thread) lack that "self-control" to deal with it. I was just pointing to where IMO the weak spots could be.
I guess all this just does not make any sense for users who are accustomed to this HN system for years : As well adjusted (themselves) AND well-adjusted to it (not the same thing), they can afford to roll their eyes.
