Your comment hits the nail on the head for me. Regarding bots, it feels like any time this issue is discussed here it gets pushed down rather quickly. I really think it should be examined harder though. I outright stopped glancing at /new since it often looks like the same accounts trying to push some messaging (e.g vaccine rhetoric, often from some random substack). Your other point is one I’ve tried to put into words lately. I think I even put it to one friend (a YC founder no less) that “the people who actually wanted to build something left long ago, and often all that feels left is the old crowd that just complains about specific tech repeatedly”. If I see another discussion repeating the same Linux on the desktop talking points, or the problems with Electron, I’ll scream.
