Lobste.rs feels like what Hackernews was when I first got here. I remember reading up on so many weird and cool personal projects on HN, along with obscure math, logic and black-magic programming. Nowadays it feels like HN slowly moved towards the more startuppy and political side of things, while keeping its sharp technical focus. Could also just be that I ignored the startup/political posts in the beginning though, I was heavily against that. I was also way less informed about the industry and math/programming in general, could as well just be that it got a lot harder to impress or surprise me with weird programming or math stuff.
