Just skip the whole thing and send your thoughts straight to /dev/null

Weird, especially because it DOES have likes.

It's a really bad look not to at least review this sort of thing before going live.

No, it has stars. /s

sigh Yeah, that's really a bad look for them to claim no likes and then have something that is functionally identical.

Using GH as the only way to associate identity is a bit evil

Devs need to be around actual humans in-person more, not less.

I have the right amount of humans in my life, I don't want more. Online is great for me, for this use case.

I can't see any of the content unless I sign in.

I don't know if I want to sign in, because I can't see any of the content.

I'm thinking of it a different way. In order to join a social media network these days, I need to have some assurance that it's going to be worth my time. They didn't provide any, so screw 'em.

> follow people who write code, and commit plain text to a shared log.

Isn't that Twitter?

Twitter is gone, isn't it? X under Elon is not a place I will ever hang out

Discord is where more dev communities are moving to

> Discord is where more dev communities are moving to

Discord now requires age verification, so it is user-hostile and nobody should use it.

I have not been asked for any age verification yet, US based

No, everyone is still there talking about programming. Your choice, but you’re missing out.

that's the thing, I do not think I'm missing out, HN is more than enough

I think the people who remain (on any big social) are missing out on IRL alternatives, if you get into it, you will find it is a much more rewarding way to spend your time.
