If you find one, please let me know. Over the past year or so, HN has drifted toward Reddit-level discourse. It’s getting harder to find threads that don’t quickly spiral into politics, country bashing (usually the US or Europe, depending on the article), or just mean-spirited sniping.
replyIf neither of you can find one, consider creating one.
replyI blame the LLMs. There are much less interesting content these days on HN so as there is little intersting to discuss people just rehash the same boring old arguments.
replyAnd if one exists can we please make it harder to just have a comment or post immediately [flagged] and buried? Dumb personal attacks, spam, things like that - yeah, sure. But HN is baaaad when it comes to this
replyHave you tried https://lobste.rs/?
replyIt is semi-private as it is invite-based but still big. Compared to here it has less "industry news" and more "hacker content"
