The hacker news crowd is overwhelmingly in support of old.reddit. I mean look at the UI of this place. Obviously this crowd appreciates substance more than Web 3.0 ad trackers and GIF chat

I don't come here because of the UI, I come here because of the content. If it were my site, the UI would be a little more suited to the current year.

If everyone loved it, there'd be no Hacker News mobile apps.

The only things I would change is make the Reply link open a text box in-line rather than needing a new tab, and add an icon next to my username/karma in the top right whenever there's a new reply to one of my comments.

Any other "modernization" is probably a step BACKWARDS in UX. I really like the simple design of HN.

If it were your site, suited to the current year, I wouldn't come back here.
