Yeah it's kinda weird.
Feels like I need to go find a tech site full of people who actually like tech instead of hating it.
Don't know if I'm biased but it seems there has been a slow but consistent and accelerating redditification of hacker news.
I like tech
I don't like meta or anything it has done, or stands for
No we like tech that works for the people/public, not against them. I know its a crazy idea.
Tech and techies don't like to be monopolized
As others have pointed out, we like tech.
We don't like what trillion-dollar supranational corporations and infinite VC money are doing with tech.
Hating things like "We're saving your precise movements and location for 10+ years" and "we're using AI to predict how much you can be charged for stuff" is not hating technology
If you don't hate big tech you haven't paying attention. Enshittification became a popular word for a reason.
I like tech, but I despise cults
Your opinions aren't the problem, and tech isn't the problem. It's entirely your bad-faith strawman arguments and trolling.

That feeling is correct: this site is better without you. Please put your money where your mouth is and leave.
