Almost exactly three years have passed since the last update, and nearly four since the last issue being published. So, what happened? And is this blog entry a glimpse of hope for Issue #3 ever appearing? Or is this just a final entry to sum up the project and officially shut it down?

Ask HN: Where do you browse and chat outside of here?

I used to really enjoy reddit but find it toxic and too “mainstream” recently so I moved to Lemmy but it’s quiet and kept a lot of redditism. I’ve been enjoying reading HN daily but want to read more than 20-30 top posts. I like the general kind attitude and professionalism as well as the interesting topics.

The Dead Planet Theory

Everyone loves to talk about the Dead Internet Theory, but less often discussed is how few people “do things” in any venue or on any platform.

Ask HN: Are forums dead?
(ycombinator.com)
I got a bit of nostalgia to the old days of phpBB forums about computers. I enjoyed the days when forum software was purely a forum software, without any real time messaging/chat, and where people would post longer content than 120 characters.<p>Are forums dead? Do you know of any active forum on computers, software, hardware?

The Botfly Test: Characterizing parasitic automated behavior in online communit
(hannahilea.com)
I recently encountered non-transparent automated behavior in a tech-community forum, and it really, really annoyed me. After confirming that my spidey senses were correct, and that this user was actively, regularly, and non-transparently performing and benefiting from automated interactions in the forum, I spent some time trying to figure out why exactly I was so annoyed by it.

Fans are better than tech at organizing information online (2019)
(wired.com)
Kudos to the fans. One of the nominees for the Hugo Awards this year is Archive of Our Own, a fanfiction archive containing nearly 5 million fanworks—about the size of the English Wikipedia, and several years younger. It's not just the fanfic, fanart, fanvids, and other fanworks, impressive as they are, that make Archive of Our Own worthy of one of the biggest honors in science fiction and fantasy. It's also the architecture of the site itself.

Ask HN: Why is there such little political discourse on HN at the moment?
(ycombinator.com)
Seems like there are few stories or comments around the many tech related issues regarding DEI, investments, company pivots, trade, and geo-political territories. Not that there should be more, but it seems like there is less.
