Some alternative's I have bookmarked:

https://hubski.com/

https://lobste.rs/

https://snapzu.com

https://soylentnews.org/

and Voat.

I don't really use them so I can't do a good review. I had some more bookmarked but can't find them at the moment.

I sent you the invite.

For some reason I can't reply to am1988 but maybe he's right, I don't know.

Any site which requires this type of thing to signup sounds like one I don't want to be a part of. Seems like a recipe for a hive mind.

You get a hive mind or you get regression to the mean, by which I mean you either aggressively filter for people with specific qualities, which is apparently a hive mind scenario, or you end up with the same kind of commentators you find on every other let-everyone-in platform.

So Hacker News is a regression to the mean, then?

Sure. It's much more general-interest than it used to be, and business content has cratered.
