Comment on Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have tags/filters?

Comments

I used to think this, and I still wonder if it would be helpful, but on the other hand:

Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should. Just because people ask for it doesn't mean it should be done. See: Social media.

The spirit of HN is a public forum to discuss all sorts of topics, and to be exposed to a broad set of headlines/subjects - even if one isn't educated on it.
