In my opinion hn is still here because it is still only text. I was a very happy Reddit user way back when most of the content was links to other sites and/or pure text posts. Today the most visible parts are just images or videos - highly stimulating content that does not encourage calm, thoughtful and nuanced discussions. HN is still only text based _and_ it is mostly about technical issues. Nothing could be improved here, it's already perfect.
