Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
9 by THENATHE | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Very small, curated community posting thoughtful political, general, arts, gaming, etc news (specifically not just tech and “nerd” focused) that has some level of commenting functionality? I LOVE hackernews but I am finding that I really don’t get a lot of non-tech news here (and I understand that is the point) and so I am looking for something to replace Reddit, TikTok, and google news at getting regular stories. Some things I have tried: RSS feeds: don’t really see a practical benefit to this over google news Google News: want to get away from it as I am trying to excommunicate Google from my life as much as possible, and it misses the comment functions Apple News: not happy I have to pay money for half of it, and the other problem I have is I could give a rats ass about their “curated” stories and audio news. Reddit: generally, too mainstream and filled with a bunch of chaff I don’t really want to sift through to get to the nuggets, when the nuggets are quite common on here TikTok: the world news I have gotten on here is great! But often filled with other videos that distract me or are not something I want to actively fill my time with Thoughts? If this doesn’t exist, would people be interested in it being created, and does anyone think it has a chance of taking off (and not immediately falling to the slop that is public Internet forums)?
