Ask HN: Anyone else avoiding HN today?

4 points by mikece 3y ago

There is so much garbage being posted today in the name of "April Fools pranks" that tech news has an unbearable noise-to-signal ratio. I'm pretty much marking everything in my RSS reader as read without reading it because it's all so stupid. And aside from posting this I probably won't even check the headlines on HN today... am I the exception in this regard?

You're not alone. This is the day that I ignore pretty much everything on the interwebs. I still read HN, but with an even greater skeptical eye than normal.
