I was a hold out on smartphones for a while and I used to print out k5 articles to read while afk... Just such an amazing collection of people sharing ideas and communal moderation, editing and up voting.
I learned about so many wierd and wonderful things from that site.
- MilanTodorovic 1y agoAre there any spiritual successors?
- jlokier 1y agoFor me the progression was Slashdot -> Kuro5hin -> HN.
- senderista 1y ago-> lobste.rs
- Fuzzwah 1y agoSimilar to jlokier's response, I ended up here after k5 went away. HN fills my geek interests pretty well, and over the last few years I've found that "long form video essays" on YT, audiobooks / podcasts fill my desire for learning about other random topics.
