I’ve been banned from HN many times and I’ll get banned again for ban evading (on top of flagged etc). Yes, HN has fallen wayside - not recently, but awhile back. Has nothing to do with election cycles, people just love shitposting, dogpiling and other nonsense.
I’m trying to find a good HN replacement that’s nuts and bolts hackerdom with a bit of edgy posting thrown in so it’s not sterile, but it’s hard to find.
- creativenolo 4y agoI worked a cleaner in McDonalds. On the first Saturday, a guy came in with has family, eat, and left a complaint. I thought this was an issue but I was told this guy comes ever Saturday and always complains. Right enough, he did the next weekend and the next… I never understood it. But every so often, I spot it again.
- cpach 4y agoLobste.rs is quite good, but a lot slower and much less discussion than HN. So IMHO it’s less engaging and less fun. Not bad, just different.
- dang 4y agoWe don't care about "ban evading" in the sense that anyone is welcome to make a new account as long as they play by the rules. But as you know you can't post like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33671870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33671870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33664971 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33664971 ...so, er, yes I've banned this account. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with!
