I see the same thing. I don't know why I even bother to post here, habit mainly. I know I'm not changing any minds.

I am not sure, I would say I just joined hackernews for a year so I don't know the whole situation.

but the way I see it, If I assume you are correct, hackernews is in a bit of rough spot because there was this one comment which did some analysis and it feels like hackernews is definitely saturating a bit/(peaked?)

From my personal experience, I feel like we all just use reddit (as the article says) and so we just deal with the annoyances with it and not look for anything else. Or perhaps we join some discord communities.

If people who are within Hackernews are resonating this statement, its in a tough spot because people say such things.

Perhaps, its that Hackernews grew too big for some people and its too small for others. Perhaps one side's currently on reddit not even knowing about it and the other's complaining it on hackernews

And perhaps there's also a middle sweet spot where people aren't complaining but nobody hears them either because they got nothing to complain.

But from the outside what people see are other people complaining about hackernews on hackernews. Same goes for redditors too I guess.

I checked your comment and it says 5 months, I had been assuming you were here for years from the tone but perhaps I was wrong.

I don't know but to me hackernews felt like an information arbitrage of sorts which had these tid-bits of info which made me feel better if I ever were to do somethings like this or gave me confidence in myself in finding the right tool for the right job

If you are tired of hackernews, I would suggest you to open up a fediverse lemmy instance about anything related to hackernews because of the masses perhaps, then you would have less people but more signal since clearly someone would be interested if you create a lemmy instance about similar topics to hackernews but the problem then becomes is if that thing stays idle.

I see your concerns but do you have any suggestions, I see dang and others around here, I am sure if they could do something about it, they probably would?
