问HN：你如何找到管理良好的社区
我多年前开始使用互联网，那时感觉广阔无垠，充满了无限的新奇想法可供探索。如今，似乎90%（这个数字是推测的）在线讨论都发生在相对少数的平台上，比如Facebook、曾被称为Twitter的网站、TikTok、Reddit和Discord。大多数平台已经变成了垃圾场。虽然Reddit仍然算得上不错，但越来越多地被机器人流量所占据。Discord社区没有真正的发现机制，内容仅集中于当前的热门话题，迫使用户跟随这些话题。
机器人问题非常严重，因为它们会影响舆论，并且通常很擅长让非专业用户无法察觉。
HN（Hacker News）仍然是少数几个地方之一，尽管其规模庞大，但其管理保持了高标准的质量。我可以在这里尊重不同的观点，因为我相信这是一个经过认真思考的真实人所写的。
几年前，我预测随着机器人涌入开放平台，人们会退回到更小的、封闭的社区，这些社区的规模取决于它们有效管理的能力。虽然当时这一预测仅仅是基于一种直觉，但今天我已经亲眼看到这一现象似乎正在发生。但这也带来了发现问题：你如何找到这些地方？而且，健康的社区需要新成员和新视角，但增长使得管理变得更加困难。
你如何找到具有HN级别讨论质量的社区？我并不是在询问小众的专业社区，而是希望找到在各种主题上进行平衡讨论的地方，不仅限于科技。同时，请分享你对我关于“围墙花园”社区的预测的看法，你认为我的预测是否正确？

I started using internet many years ago and it felt vast, with unlimited amount of novel ideas to discover. Now it feels like 90% (speculative number) of online discourse happens on relatively few platforms like Facebook, a site formerly known as Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, and Discord. Most platforms have become slop stores. Reddit is still half-decent but increasingly overrun by bot traffic. Discord communities have no real discovery mechanism and it is concentrated only on present and forces users to follow what's the hot topic right now.<p>The bot problem is huge because they shape opinions and often are very good at staying undetected by non-expert users.<p>HN remains one of the few places where, despite its size, moderation has kept the high bar of quality. I can respect a contrary opinion here because I trust an actual person wrote it after genuine thought.<p>A few years ago I predicted that as bots flood open platforms, people would retreat into smaller, closed communities sized by their capacity to moderate effectively. Although back then it was based on nothing else but a gut feeling, today I already see for myself that it seems to be happening. But this creates a discovery problem: how do you find these places? And there is a tension that healthy communities need fresh members and perspectives but growth makes moderation harder.<p>How do you find communities with HN-level discourse quality? I am not asking about niche specialist communities but this balanced discussion on a wide variety of topics, not only tech. Also please share your thoughts regarding my prediction about "walled-garden" communities and do you think my prediction is correct?
