Anyone know of a "hacker news minus politics and marketing"?

[criddell]

So, no discussion of free software?

I just want to talk about how to build cool shit I don't want to hear about licenses or crap about how me sharing my code with restrictions isn't really "open source", so no, nothing about "free software" . Stop trying to "gotcha" random people with stupid questions.

The old slashdot fork soylentnews.org is still bumbling along.

I was quite active there when it launched, but the community quickly just become a carbon copy of /.'s complete with all the same problems and bias.

I hate to be that guy, but literally nothing is apolitical. Hn minus explicitly political content is is just status quo maintenance news.

Where's the politics in discussing which anchor screw holds the most weight in drywall?

Saying everything is political removes any meaning from the word politics.

Literally nothing is perfect in the world, but that leaves all the room in the world for variation. No painting is perfect, neither mine nor Van Gogh's - why do people pay so much for Van Gogh's?

Maybe Lobste.rs.
