Any, if having some decent moderators and if there is no reason to make any nasty things driven by commercial needs.

To what end?

What do you like about HN?

What do you seek to change / improve?

but with less news, less programming, stronger intellectual discussions, more AGI, more philosophy

https://lobste.rs/ is an alternative that's more focused on tech news.

Maybe daily.dev ?

I started getting ads for it and haven’t given it a try yet but it seems to be a dev news aggregator.

It’s not the same, but the various programming subreddits usually have the same big news than HN.

Programming.dev and the whole Fesiverse \o/

I'm interested in other Hacker News-like sites. I'd actually just like to leave for something better. I'm increasingly tired of the low brow conversations.

lobste.rs may be the closest, but its referral-based registration leaves you with this odd interleave of being connected to the site potentially by a member you don't actually really know well.

I think they try to discourage that, but I've seen it not work out that way in practice.

Regardless, lobste.rs is a bit too much of a clone.

... Slashdot? :P

(I mean, I say that with a tongue in cheek but it's probably actually a legit answer...)
