Wow, you're getting downvoted for this? Hacker News really has changed. Goodbye Hacker News. I learned a lot from you, but it's time to go our separate ways.
C'mon, it's on the guidelines: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
Yes, comments like that one will be downvoted.
The problem is where to go. There are still a lot of good stories here, so I'm not ready to just take my toys and leave, so to speak, but I'm actively looking for alternatives.
Lobsters seems like the best alternative but it doesn't appear to be very active. I'm in the same boat as you.
