I am seeing a large percentage of NSFW tagged posts on old.reddit.com - not logged in (I don't even have an account) and browsing from generic BT home broadband in the UK.

It could be but the version I remembered was trying to tell someone the website over the phone. Perhaps someone on HN has a more reliable source than my brain?

As others have said, it's Slashdot - which got it's name from trying to spell out the web address over the phone. Silly and confusing... h..t..t..p..colon..slash..slash..slashdot..dot..org When you see "Hacker News Hug"

It's not about length of time but a show of how much support the communities have for each other. 48 subreddits going dark for 1 day is more of a statement than 1 going dark for 48 days. The mods know many people rely on their communit

The key issue seems to be the 80/20 rule. The 80% are anonymous lurkers or accounts that very rarely post anything. The remaining 20% is split 15/5, with the former being frequent contributors to discussions - and the final 5% bei

A key element is moderation via automated tools using 3rd party access. Imagine a free music festival with zero security. It would be chaos and the volunteer artists would stop performing.

The Apollo app makes API calls to their own server, which in turn makes calls to Reddit’s API. From 30 June this proxy server will not function.

HN greatest selling point is variety and quality content to match. It's not a niche community focused on one area of tech (/r/DevOps, /r/NetSec, /r/LearnPython, etc). Depending on how much "influence&

YouTube is a gold mine for how-to videos on home DIY. Might be worth investing time in learning fundamentals, like electricity for one (if you lack the knowledge). Knowing how to use a multimeter for debugging is very useful. Rule number o

Depends on budget and use case? A low end Acer would be fine for browsing Facebook & YouTube. A maxed-out Lenovo W series might be better if you're doing heavy lifting in 3D scientific modelling. I'm personally a fan of the Fr

That's a pretty imaginative method for recruitment. If you're nerdy enough to want to install Linux on a games console, maybe you'd like to get paid for it!

Google Translate is your friend here. RUTracker has excellent quality music - often complete label discographies too.

I used to race mountain bikes and the community was strong - both online and on the race track! These days I've made friends in the car community (Audi Owners Club, TT Owners Club) who I occasionally meet in person around the country.

The Highway Code in the UK is full of “must” and “should” indicating firm requirements and optional choices. The use of “should” is a softer method of persuasion, in the same way signs say “Please close the door” not just “Close the door”

Religious cults prey on the weak. Their entire recruitment ethos is based around offering vulnerable people help in times of need. Nobody joins for purely the social aspect. "All or nothing" is fairly accurate.

Fyre Festival will go down in history as a great example of a "clusterfuck". Watching the car-crash documentary about everything going full steam ahead was wonderfully entertaining. Less so for the Fyre guests mind...

I suspect there is considerable overlap in a Venn diagram of those who never hear about the image being manipulated and those who still think a blue tick is reserved for human-verified accounts.

People rarely remember the first loser - the person with the silver medal award. Regardless of how good/evil the winner was, the simple fact they came out on top is used as positive motivational material.

Maybe research has shown the adverts get less engagement with longer, more predictable scheduling. Technology these days makes it relatively easy. Most people won't bother getting up for the shorter adverts - so whilst on mute - the a
