I wouldn't go that far. The signal to noise ratio is worse than it used to be, but there's still nothing else like HN and there are still a lot of interesting technical conversations to observe or to be had. I continue to learn more here than anywhere else. I'll cope with putting in a bit more effort mentally filtering out the unproductive conversations.
- ranger_danger 4y ago>but there's still nothing else like HN yes there is, lobste.rs is exactly HN but with a lot more selective membership and hence better comments.
- kup0 4y agoi would not say it's "exactly HN". lobste.rs articles are much more programming focused. majority of posts you find on HN you would not find on lobste.rs which is fine, if that's what you want, but, as a daily reader of both, they aren't even close to being the same thing
