I hate to be flippant, but surely you've heard of Reddit? /r/news is the obvious subreddit, but there are lots of others with different topics and slightly different flavor commenting communities.
EDIT to add: Ironically, there's a subreddit dedicated to talking about alternatives to Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/
and here's a page listing alternative sites in order of Alexa ranking:

EDIT2: and FWIW, I know that HN started as an escape from Reddit.
- benologist 10y agoI think on HN there is a pretty widespread culture of valuing the commentary more than the submissions. Some subreddits can be like that but I haven't come across any popular news ones that are.
- thinkling 10y agoAnd PS, if you're less concerned about the content being news and more interesting in a nice community, check out MetaFilter. http://www.metafilter.com/ http://www.metafilter.com/
- jrnichols 10y agoThat depends on whether or not your opinions match that of the strong hivemind that Metafilter has going. I ended up deleting my long time MF account because of that. If your comments aren't in like with the group think, expect them to get flagged and removed.
- debt 10y agoI very much dislike Reddit's community. I agree that it is a community around news though.
