What happened to Hacker News? It doesn’t appear to have changed, though I haven’t used it in years. It was always a bit too techbro for me.

Its still alive and well. Its generally less memey and focuses on a higher quality of discourse. Its a different environment that can still be fun but its definitely brainier. Nothing wrong with engaging intelligent people, it makes you smarter.

Same opinion I have of it, too techbro. Easier to avoid those circles on a federated site.

It’s literally the tech bro news site, though, by design. This criticism is ridiculous. YCombinator is the organization that funds so many Silicon Valley tech dreams.

It’s not a criticism. It just wasn’t to my taste.
