It all depends if you care about the tech side of HN or the startup side of HN. I love the tech articles above all else and could easily do without the general trend fluff.
With that said, I don’t find the AI posts nearly as bad as the Blockchain era.
- devmor 1y agoAs annoyed as I am with the constant deluge of uninteresting AI/LLM articles, I would much rather see a split between tech and startup news. I think that's a lasting and useful distinction.
- Karrot_Kream 1y agoIsn't topical subcommunities just Reddit?
- aydyn 1y agoThe userbase overlap is probably > 50%. To many people HN is just another subreddit.
- sshine 1y agoLobste.rs provides that distinction.
- 201984 1y agoAnd it's invite-only, so it's hardly an alternative.
- MarceColl 1y agowell, it takes around 20 minutes to get an invite, so hardly a problem if you prefer only tech articles
- iib 1y agoHow exactly does it take 20 minutes to get an invite? I have not tried it, but I can't see how that would be easy.
- earnestinger 1y agoNo idea. Read only is good enough.
- MarceColl 1y agoI got mine in about that time, joined their IRC and asked for an invite, someone DM'd me, asked me a couple of questions and sent me the invite. This was about 7 years ago when there as a lot less people, so I imagine it should be easier now.
- sugarpimpdorsey 1y agoA socially awkward speakeasy with deranged moderation? Where do I sign up? A forum that is exclusionary-by-design has already failed.
- zahlman 1y agoPersonally, I'm more interested in the think-pieces than the actual news. (And I could very much do without the content that revolves around US politics. Even if it draws me in sometimes.)
- Bukhmanizer 1y agoI don’t remember blockchain ever being as big as AI here. More annoying? Yes.
