Are you interested in a Hacker News alternative which doesnt focus on AI

Question

I was inspired by this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41766704And I felt like instead of asking it to be specifically instead of AI , I really wondered if we could rather create a hackernews alternative (potentially with same ui-ish) that doesn't condone AIWe could rather have it be for open source / ask for linux etc.I think I personally would prefer a website where I can have a fresh relief not having to worry about ai in my news for once .I am more than willing to build it as a fun side project but I wanted to hear the community's opinion in it(I don't want to overthrow hackernews , that's pretty stupid IMO , I just want people who don't want the latest ai hype to gather around and discuss some other cool things which are "not" AI

I've considered writing a Firefox extension that just hides any mention of AI, LLMs, etc.

HN strongly reflects whatever thing SV is all hyped about. Today it's AI. Yesterday it was cryptocurrency. I don't think it's that hard to ignore the items that don't interest you -- there are plenty that aren't about The Current Hotness -- and if you wait long enough, the topic will stop being so trendy anyway.

Filtering out the AI related stories is one thing/challenge (the 'focus' is a wave, a trend), but otherwise, there are still plenty of submissions/discussions about other topics, I mean, you can still join us in those threads, upvote those threads. Get involved there!
