News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on I miss the old IndieHackers website, so I started an alternative.

What is Skool? Is Skool the thing that you built? Or is it just a forum? I don't understand what I am looking at sorry

edit:

ok for everyone else:

skool seems like a community forum, where everyone can create their own community, sort of like reddit (?), except the top communities all seems a little... scammy and off

https://www.skool.com/

IndieHackers was some forum for ... indie hackers. That closed.

This is someone opening a new forum on skool that is named IndieHackers, but is otherwise un-affiliated with the old indiehackers.

Skool is backed by notorious scammer Alex Hormozi (who built his entire brand on lying about being worth 100 million). This is that part of the internet where people like Tai Lopez used to inhabit back in the day.

I don't follow e-girls so I don't know Alex Hormozi but yeah it seems like that.

The whole site seems very... off to me. The basic functionality makes sense (have a forum with paid component, sort of like substack merged with reddit? ok); but all the top communities look like borderline scam/mlm
