I don't use Hacker News. I have never used Hacker News. One look at the comments convinced me that nobody should ever use Hacker News. I don't understand why anyone gives it any of their time at all.

@twylo It attracts the same type of elitist nerdy schmuck that Slashdot did back in the day.

@twylo It was cuter, say, three years ago.The comparison to early Slashdot is apt.I think the posts last peaked at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11929396 , the restoration of a complete Xerox Alto (including software, a really great read through Ken Shirriff's blog series from if you haven't).And that was .. wow. Seven years ago.

@twylo Yep, that's what they are. Switched to lobste.rs few years ago, similar to HN but better. But smaller community.
