I noticed, some two years ago, the tide turning. "Show HN" posts became painful to read; instead of mostly constructive criticism, most or all comments were angry and hypercritical. It's been sad to watch.
- RivieraKid 13y agoUnfortunately, HN is a monopoly in its niche, I don't see a good alternative.
- area51org 13y agoThe only one I know of is lobste.rs, which is all fine and good if you know someone and can get an invite — without one, you're stuck in read-only mode. No idea why they'd make a decision like that. I like HN for its news, but am not so sure about its moderation policies, muchless the sometimes-hypercritical attitudes.
