Ask HN: If HN were to disappear tonight whats your next fix?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm always worried about loosing something nice I've found. HN is so unique in that you have topics ranging from sea shells to semi conductors and beyond. 9/10 times I view the comments even before opening the article. It speaks of where my priorities are at and I'm sure it's similar for the others. If for whatever reason HN changes, where will you be flocking to next for the goods that only HN could provide until then?

Probably going through my HN favorite list and save as much content as possible. Like "Ask HN: What are some more authentic online forums?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20941191

Reddit. It's still usable with a third-party app (Apollo) even though they completely slaughtered their web UI.

If starting a new site, note that pipedot.org is a clean reimplementation of slashdot.org that didn't gain a critical mass of users. Source code here: http://pipedot.org/source

An old version of the reddit source is still around. With the right moderation, that could be like HN.

Ars Technica. Slashdot. Techmeme. Reddit has some good sub-Reddits.
