This seems to be another reddit clone. All the content appears to be technical

It seemed to me like a much less active Hacker News (and indeed was intended to be a replacement for that community iirc).

Came here to say this. It's ok, but often mirrors HackerNews.

Also, their community is very elitist. You won't get access unless someone invites you, or you connect to their IRC, give them your GitHub and grovel for a week in their channel.

Yeah, it's the people who think HN is "too mainstream." lmao

Yeah it's definitely an HN clone, and that's much-needed because the orange site is a hellhole. I like their invite-tree system, and need to finish tracking down an invite.

I'm on it and have been for some years. Not a large contributor by any means, but I find it interesting enough to fairly consistently read. It's a community that's definitely got some quirks, but it has managed to stay broadly technical and not become a swamp of memes and snappy comebacks, which is sadly impressive these days.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
