Man I'm so tired of hearing about Claude.

I wonder what these guys spent on ads total.

I like AI just hate Claude and Anslopic ads 24/7

People were actually complaining specifically about OpenAI/Anthropic glazing and the countless influencer comments and posts here every hour.

And it's getting twisted into "People want HN without AI."

But that was never the case. I mean some surely do. But the blow-up this morning was specific to Anthropic ads to the point there's basically no information on this website that isn't related to Anthropic or OpenAI.

If it was announced some rando kid made a LLM in PHP or something, sure share it! If it was announced someone actually made something cool with AI (lol) then share it!

But Claude 24/7 aint it. It's at least extremely boring!

I like AI and AI news, but can't stand the endless Anslopic Claude ads.

All this site ever talks about is Claude. It's so annoying. We'd use it if it was good (it's not).

As i write this, an article about Claude is 6th from the top on the linked site.

this website reduces the priority of content, rather than filter it entirely, so some articles with high score will still appear, but lower down than they otherwise would.

This is configurable though, so you can make it whatever you want.

When people ask for alternatives, I think they mean a different admin/investor behind the scenes too.

Reddit and HN share the same investors.

Unslop.news is still HN content and users.

Lobsters is like invite-only HN - maybe even more insufferable than this place in that regard.

People want something new, not the same corrupt people like Garry Tan and PG all the time.

I'm sick of YC and HN - they are barely technical and invest only in rich kids from other countries.

I personally want something entirely new - new admins.

Mastodon's UI is horrible. At least for people who never used Xitter. Why did a new company (at a moment of Mastodon initial release) copied already ancient and by then pointless limitations? Character limit, linear feed, tags in text, no advanced formatting etc. And then there are registration problem (where to register), the retention/safety problem (what if a benevolent admin of your instance nuked your account, now what?), the discovery problem etc. I'm permanently baffled at the decision process of Mastodon developers.

Mastodon is just as bad, it suffers from the same problem as most of the Fediverse it inspired, admins of large instances bitchfighting with one another and holding their users hostage...

Hard disagree with lobste.rs being worse than HN
