as a hacker, couldn’t you write a browser plug-in to filter out the subjects you don’t want to see?

- solardev 3y agoWell, I can just skip the topics I'm not interested in. It's just that there's a pretty clear bias here for startup-capitalist mentality (which is fine, just not really for me), and it's harder to find people discuss the things that challenge that status quo system (politics, socialism, tech coops, etc.). I think the moderators here do a great job, but at the end of the day it's still a service of YCombinator, and that draws a certain crowd. I prefer to gently step away from the financial side of that Venn diagram, personally, but there are also many people here who come here specifically FOR that, which I have no problem with. I just miss the old Slashdot, probably, with high-quality tech discussions but less of an emphasis on the business side of things and the startup hustle culture.
