Did you find a replacement for reddit you like?
- postalrat 5y agoHN?
- croutonwagon 5y agoHN is nice but historically the topics had to be very specific to tech, startups, etc. Recently it seems to have been a little easier on the political and social commentary stuff which i think is pretty nice and refreshing. Though I understand why some aren’t as much of a fan. It does attract more drama and flame baiting.
- esturk 5y agoI agree with the historical part because recently there has been more meme posts, one liner edgy comments, giant political rants, etc. And since people can't delete your post after 2 hours, you can see a lot of fluff nowadays even in a relatively old thread.
- dang 5y agoThe mix hasn't changed on HN. There's some fluctuation of course but people have been perceiving and pronouncing the same trends for 10+ years. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869
- betwixthewires 5y agoI like something called littr.me, single community link aggregator (like HN) but federates, so you get the interaction between communities but each community is sovereign, free to isolate itself as it pleases. https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr But it isn't about "a replacement for reddit." It is about finding communities online you want to engage in and engaging. Forums, non-federated aggregators (like HN), chatrooms all suffice. The trick is to avoid a one stop shop for communities.
- rex-mundi 5y agoThanks, sounds interesting, I'll check it out. Your probably write about avoiding the on stop shop.
