Thank you, the filtering is the issue, and as you I haven't found a way to filter all big sites.
The filters I'm using are :
- the same user who post too often
- domain too frequent
- a list of blacklist words in the title
- a list of blacklisted domains
I already filter about 80% of links I would say (which is few enough to go through the list every day, about 200 posts)
About the HN meta data, I don't think it is a good idea to keep the upvotes, because this is exactly where the issue is, if you see a post with low upvotes people tend to not read it, doesn't mean it is not interesting, and for the comments same for not displaying the number, but you can still access the hn comment page by clicking on 'hn link'
