I have completely moved over to https://tildes.net https://tildes.net, HN, and http://lobste.rs http://lobste.rs.

  I've been trying to get a lobste.rs invite for years! It's a tough community to get into. I hadn't heard of Tildes before, but it looks cool, too. Reddit reached Eternal September a while ago, so the key is to find small (yet active) communities whose content doesn't make it to r/all. I moderate a cycling community there, but we're really strict about what type of content gets posted. It sucks that we as a mod team have to do that, but if we don't our community gets overrun with memes, image macros, and rage comics.

    Shoot me an email - it's in my HN bio.

  I've been on lobste.rs a while. It's even worse than HN.

    This is an honest question so I hope it doesn't come off in the wrong light. If you don't like it here? Why do you continue to visit and interact?
    • eeZah7Ux 6y ago
      Because better platforms died off years ago (or have been killed).
      • jlokier 6y ago
        Which platforms did you find better than HN? And of those which were killed?
        • eeZah7Ux 6y ago
          NNTP, some mailing lists and the peer-based resharing/voting in Google Reader

  What are the advantages (or differences) of these compared to HN? From a quick glance they seem to be clones with a bit of glitter.
