Hacker News Reader

I'm pretty new here. Less than two months. I've stopped using Facebook so I was looking for some other news outlets that I could use. Now I'm using Twitter, LinkedIn and HN. HN is taking much less of mine time than Facebook. I think that this is due to lack of visual distractions.

Those are pretty awful networks... LinkedIn? There is much to say about that crowd... :) People literally advertising themselves all day long and upvoting politically correct stuff for virtue signalling to their followers. :)

I would recommend reddit for real humans, but stay away from the front page. It's awful.

LinkedIn is getting "facebooked" lately but I have a lot of former coworkers there. And since we share a lot of interest I always find some useful content. You are right about self-promotion, "real-life" stories that have nevere happened and other spam content on LinkedIn

I've never tried to stick on reddit... Maybe I should give it a second chance. The pure size of it makes me hard to decide from where to start exploring it.
