Unfortunately no, I think this sort of trend has essentially eaten most major communication channels. Even reddit is 10x more tame, “middle class average” and predictably corporate than the forum culture the internet had ~1995-2010, before winner-take-all social media sites ate everything.

Agreed, reddit is now full of corporate fanboys.

Once a site/forum hits enough critical mass it's guaranteed to become corporate.

Social media exists to 1) push ads, or 2) shape consensus.

The end state of both is $$$.

I consider HN being too corporate already. But I think there is an easy solution, where voting power just needs to be adjusted for at least those corporate domains and maybe in general to give more weight to diverse domains.
