Not for a long time. As pointed out by others, too toxic, and too commercial.
I was optimistic about http://pipedot.org/ http://pipedot.org/, but it's unmaintained for a long while.
Also https://soylentnews.org/ https://soylentnews.org/ ... My impression is the comments there are sliding toward toxicity, I'm sorry to say.
- Jaruzel 8y agoI was excited about soylentnews also, registered over there on day of launch, and was pretty active for the first few months. I tried to help out, and at the time, not being a linux coder, I did some graphics to improve the UI a bit. Got told off the bat 'thx, but no thx' even though my icons were way better than the originals (which were from the original openslash codebase), and could have been just dropped into the build. That sort of dismissive attitude basically told me, that despite their manifesto it was really run by a secret bro-coder club who only wanted their own fiefdom to play in. So I left. Pipedot.org started off well, but I got the impression there that it was basically a one-man-band running it. The lack of resources became apparent very early on. HN is now where I happily lay my hat.
