The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account, and I’m here. I still go there, but spend minutes rather that hours. I tried Hacker News, but some posts are really technical. I hope this is a new home.
Great thing about hacker news is they have actual paid mods that really keep things civil and prevent the forum from turning into a cesspool. Despite people proclaiming “hn is turning into reddit” every once in a while in past 12 years, the mods do a solid job and it hasn’t turned into reddit yet. Whenever I visit hacker news there is a chance that I’d learn something new. It’s a very valuable resource.
That being said, can’t shitpost in hacker news. Posted a joke? RIP.
