For me, Hacker News is probably the best community on the internet. It’s not like others. Take Reddit, for example: at first glance it seems better, with tons of subreddits. But for a beginner, there is no real main entrance. With a new account, it’s a challenge - first you wait 5 days, then you need to earn karma just to post or comment in popular subreddits. On Twitter, you have to spend a long time building followers, or buy a checkmark, just to get access to recommendations. On Hacker News, everything feels right even if you are a beginner. Your post appears in the “new” feed, where everyone can see it. Karma is not so limiting here. At the start, you can make one post a day and a few comments, and after reaching just 10 karma, you become almost a full user - free to participate, contribute, and enjoy the platform. Hacker News is a place that survived the revolution of the modern internet and remained true to itself. A place without subscribers, paid boosts, or artificial promotion. The most important thing that keeps this world going is our elders people who preserve this spirit with discipline, guiding others who may have strayed from the path. HN is where the good, clean internet has survived after all these years. And I truly hope it will always stay this way. Thanks, HN.
