It’s actually getting quite annoying. Reddit started off with r/programming being by far the largest community. It’s pretty obvious to see how it has drifted with time. I see the same phenomena happen to HN and I come here for tech news. I’d like them to have a subHN for economic news for those that want it. I believe datatau (announces on HN a few years ago) attempted to solve this. I get that people here respect each other’s opinions since we are like minded tech folk, but I’d really rather it was separated.
- nkassis 7y agoPretty normal progression for technical news sites to go through that process as they grow. It's happen to every other tech site before it. But HN always had economic news. It started as a news site for the startup community and so economic news always fit in in my view.
- icebraining 7y agoThere's no drift. If you look at the submissions by pg himself (the creator of the site), who stopped years ago, more often than not they weren't "tech news": https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pg
