Following the reddit fiasco, I’ve been looking for other communities to get tech news from. I was active on HN a long time ago but it’s been a hot minute, and I left because the politics were pretty bad; lots of free speech maximalists who loved to just ask questions, especially about queer people.
Is it better now? Worse? Just different?

I check at least once a day. HN is great for tech news. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to stream HN topics into posts in a Lemmy community to discuss here.
The comments at HN are generally high quality but seem heavily moderated.
It’s cool for learning about tech stuff. that’s all I use it for
I like HN. The only thing I avoid is anything to do with medical breakthroughs, antiaging or the current Silicon Valley fad (raw water, huge vitimin doses etc). Way to much misinformation, hyperbole and speculation (on all sides)… it’s when it becomes the most “American”.
Other than those subjects I find the level of discussion and signal to noise ratio to be very good.
