Apparently, we don't need it...
Some subreddit somewhere. [https://thedailywtf.com] is good for reality-based humor.
N-Gate is! They directly make fun of “Hacker” “News” and its brogrammer circle jerk bike shedding.

Heads up though, their stuff up to 1-2 years ago is a lot funnier than now. Also they’re a lot less active.

That's because HN had a lot more satire-worthy content few years ago. I feel people started moderating themselves mainly in response to ngate

Like, "Rust evangelism strike force" was coined by ngate and we don't see them that often anymore

Is that because of self-moderation or is it because Rust isn't at the peak of its hype cycle anymore?

I don’t check figures, but Rust hype feels ever lasting….
