> It's the place where the public conversation happens

Is it? It is a place where a public conversation happens. But I'm not sure that is the only public conversation, and I think fewer and fewer people are paying attention to it over time.

I don't use twitter, don't read twitter, rarely even follow links to a tweet that is called out on HN. So life certainly goes on if you ignore the site.
