A lot of banning for one, along with getting rid of most politics and off topic stuff.

Issue 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?

Try this: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/462650-hacker-news-filter - works pretty well.

And once again, mandatory tags feature which you could either use to hide content or "subscribe" to would help here.
