Thank you, dumbneurologist for the reality check, and thank you HN commenters for being the most down-to-earth no-bullshit community I've ever found. The breadth of expertise of commenters checking bait articles at the door makes HN an extremely refreshing and clear-headed place to consume news.
Everyone has their faults and I'm not saying that HN never gets caught up in hype sometimes, but this is the best place to be for a level-headed thoughtful takes on things, and you usually do it while retaining a general optimistic attitude.
So thank you.
- laythea 9y agoI second that. HN is good for that reason and also the lack of half page ads on another popular website SD.
- WhitneyLand 9y agoSorry, SD? The acronym is not clicking, would like to make sure I'm not missing a site with benefits similar to HN, even if it requires viewing a few half page ads. Thanks,
- nsp 9y agoSlashdot.com - haven't checked it in years but was a similar tech focused site with above average comments, its heyday was late 90s-early 2000s iirc
- dancsi 9y agoMaybe it is Slashdot?
- laythea 9y agoSorry - yes Slashdot. It is awful nowadays, but I started there. Somebody should tell them.
- Zuider 9y agoAgreed. Slashdot has become unusable.
