Is 30 posts on the HN home page too much for you?
As I try to restrict my consumption online, I do not feel so good about 30 items hitting my brain each time I open HN. (even though I am only scanning, sometimes just filtering by the vote count).
Is there a smaller number like 10 that might make me feel less guilty?
I would like to have 300 in /newest section.
You could follow one of the bots that just tweets/toots the top posts per hour or day. How many do you want to see?
