This post screams classic Friday afternoon news dump to me. But at this point, it doesn't really matter. I'm beginning to grow very tired of Reddit. When I signed up almost 9 years ago, it felt like a community where I was surrounded by others who were genuinely curious, helpful, and smarter than me. Now it feels like a slightly better Facebook, even if you exclude the constantly interjected political comments. The HN community feels to me today what Reddit felt like 9 years ago.

I genuinely don’t know where I’d head next if HN shut down or otherwise jumped the shark. FB was never a viable option for me, Twitter got Musked, and Reddit never held much appeal. Guess I’d have to learn how to Mastodon.

Mastodon isn't a replacement for forums. People mostly toot past each other; threads don't happen that much. When threads get big they are hard to follow; there is no easily discernible tree structure.

Back to Slashdot?

Digg sits up in its grave and looks around.

Many old redditors are jumping to https://tildes.net it feels like old reddit, don't know which direction it would go. It is invite only.

Anyone know where to get an invite? Sounds like something I'd quite like to participate in.

This looks very promising. I'm surprised this is my first time hearing of it.
