I cannot speak to your context well enough. If I only get to choose one, I choose HN (or even carefully curated Plebbit). While there are radical dark patterns in the attention economy with which to concern ourselves (and I'm happy to talk shit about the nature and states of discourse available to people), there are also many salient voices to hear within a recent and brief timeframe that aren't usually as easy to find elsewhere (at least not with as much signal-to-noise ratio).
