HN 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
