Ask HN: Where else do you spend time on the internet other than HN?

3•Gecko4072•2h ago

As you become more familiar with internet you kind of advance through sites and habits and grow up. I've ended up on HN as the most interesting site currently, but I am starting to look for more. I'm not personally a programmer but like the adjacent discussion here sometimes. Thanks

Would people who have "outgrown HN" even be here to read or answer your question?

I have graduated to not using the internet when at all possible. Its mostly been hijacked by large corporations whose only goal is you spending as much time scrolling as possible.

YouTube, Reddit, Discord, my own websites and forums, and various wikis and news sites for hobbies I'm interested in.

Generally most of the sites I use are volunteer run and operated (mostly) non-commercially, so enshittification is unlikely.
