The site became noisy by indie hackers creating products for other indie hackers and using the site for promoting their products.

There's also a community focus on less hackerish topics as paid newsletters and content products.

Also, the whole site is a bit sluggish, which may lead to less engagement in the discussions.

It essentially became Product Hunt 2.0 instead of focusing on its own niche.
