Digg almost killed Slashdot. Digg then killed itself with v4 and we were left with a less polished alternative Reddit. Reddit has been overrun by 4chan/mainstream. For some years, HN is the new /. with the most insightful comments. Though, I miss the comfort functions of the old /. comment system like collapsing threads (and tags like funny/insightful/etc).

For collapsing comment threads & a whole lot more, try Hacker News Enhancement Suite: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...

It would be nice to be able to tag things as "Funny" or "Insightful". Instead we're left with arbitrarily penalizing funny things.
