A lot of banning for one, along with getting rid of most politics and off topic stuff.
replyIssue is we are seeing a ton of AI stuff getting posted so it's a losing battle.
I used to love HN. Lots of interesting stuff, great articles, novel projects. Now it feels like the frontpage is always around 70% LLM-related stuff. And not breakthrough research or projects, just "new Claude version X" and shit like that. Eternal September I guess?

replyCurrently an unsolved problem - just stealthier on some platforms than others. Trigger the right topic on HN and the bots come out in-force together with humans sloppily copy/pasting LLM content.
