Following the reddit fiasco, I’ve been looking for other communities to get tech news from. I was active on HN a long time ago but it’s been a hot minute, and I left because the politics were pretty bad; lots of free speech maximalists who loved to just ask questions, especially about queer people.

Is it better now? Worse? Just different?

    I’m a big fan of lobste.rs - similar structure, different vibe (it had nothing to do with rust, just a coincidence)

      I wanted to check it out a while back when looking for reddit alternatives, but not necessarily so much to beg for an invite. I remember back then I tried Hubski instead, but it seems kind of dead now.

        Hubski was the one I was trying to remember! I used to be semi active there forever ago. Don’t remember why I stopped being active.

        Ah - I only lurk on there, I don’t have an account. I’ve never felt the need to participate, but that could just be me.

          Haha, fair enough. I lurk a lot more that posting everywhere. I just like to be able to contribute if I really feel like it.

      Yeah, kudos for Lobsters!
