Well back then I was just reading the main feed.

  This is the same path I took too. It must be a really obvious cycle we're all participating in. When a community gets to some set size, the number of cock-gobbling assholes who post mean things that contribute nothing becomes larger than the smart and thoughtful people. I swear, this almost always occurs right around the same time that these news sites start complaining about not making enough money...

    The question is, is there some other group that has already superseded HN? I haven't heard of any thus far. HN is still pretty good though so I have not bothered to look.
    - ThomPete 14y ago
      my thoughts exactly. The only group I could think of is LessWrong but that's a different main topic and can hardly be called superseding HN.

        Lobste.rs The thinking there is: Only links about development of software, no entrepreneurial stuff.

        seems as if there also isn't any comments stuff

        it's the old community chicken & egg problem, people go for the comments, but unless there are enough 'seed' users the comments aren't there to attract the others. Then along come the trolls and disruptors and before you know it, the community forks and the whole process starts over.

        Lobste.rs has an interesting way of handling the influx of trolls and such by making the site invite-only. If someone ends up being banned, so does whomever invited them.

        Trolls are a Madserati problem for lobsters.

    Are you trying to push HN into the trash heap too? You comment is wholly inappropriate.

      HN's been in the trash heap for the better part of six months now. Been looking for a replacement.

        Please hurry.
