I think lobste.rs might fill that niche. It's certainly less trendy and quieter.
And you need an invite to post iirc.
And you need an invite to post iirc.
And is it unfair to lobsters to say the posts all seem very very familiar? Just asking as one is always worried about missing out on the next great thing, but the HN niche seems pretty well filled?
That said, I personally prefer their layout to HN, it maintains simplicity while allowing for a better feature set.
Sounds odd to punish the inviter
A community run on the premise that the Eternal September effect must be avoided at any cost, inevitably, will come to see new membership as toxic.
If you are interested in lobste.rs invitations send me an email with your "keybase profile" and at least 1 public network identification that will let me know that you're not a self-destructive troll and I'll be happy to help you.
UPDATE: Since I received a lot more emails than I thought and it's time consuming, my offer stands for another 24 hours.

How about this: tell me what you think about women in science and technology. That is an important question to me.
Looking at women and science - I know some great woman that were succesful in science. I can note one. I don't know if she would be pleased, so I'll refer to her only with name. So, her name is Zosia. She is going to represent Poland at International Olympiad of Astronomy and Astrophysics. She is also a very timid person. And what I want to say - I really like working with her. Not to say I'm an astronome (cause I'm not), but every single piece of work in class is really enyoing. And only because of her traits of charactere and knowledge. What was that example for? To point out that working in science with women is not really different that work with men who are on some intellectual level that I can accept.
I must say, that women in technology are a rare fration of the spectrum (at least in Poland). Since I'm 17, I have not really worked in a real environment full of various people. However, what I can thing of this affair is that being to work well is working without looking at gender of co-workers.
Maybe, if you'd like to ask me some others questions, I could answer. I really like issues from cognitive theory, formal logic and pure Maths.
Cheers! And I hope you can believe I'm a human being!
ps. I'm not affiliated with 'keybase' in any way.
Could someone please explain this statement? I know Keybase is a way for people to publish public keys, but is there any cost for a troll to create an account on Keybase with a pseudonym? Does creating a Keybase account require a lot of un-automatable steps or a waiting period or something?

To me, this is a (major) downside. Among other reasons: I'd want a website where people like me felt welcome. And I know that for me, personally, I do not feel welcome at any site that didn't even allow me to join.
As a guy born in Serbia, I have to say that this is the first creative domain I saw with .rs extension.
