Ask HN: Where do all the web devs talk?

Re: Ask HN: Where do all the web devs talk?
#12I browse my LinkedIn feed (yeah, I know) and I often see discussions pop up between people from my network, albeit nowadays it's mostly about AI tools.
I see discussions pop up on /r/webdev on reddit, but not a super active subreddit.
on 4chan there used to be /wdg/ (maybe there still is, but i haven't been to that website in years at this point)
I bet a lot of discussions happen on Slack servers for specific frameworks, but I don't have a lot of experience with using those except asking questions in the #questions channels

#13Twitter, still.
Despite several attempts to move off, the center of gravity is still there.
Re: Ask HN: Where do all the web devs talk?
#14There is a very large presence over at Mastodon when it comes to people well versed in web standards. The public discussions are often very lively (in a good way).

It's OK to criticize without offering solutions
This!, its amazing how some people want to drag you into their world and have a huge discussion when all you want to do is point out some part of their idea your dont like.

#16> Are web devs more old-school, posting on bulletin boards and forums? Or is X still the answer, and I'm just getting aggressively packed into a different bubble?
> … Or is it all realtime communication, like Slack and Discord, these days?
Yes to all.
Friends + threads like these!
Try searching Twitter using key terms on xcancel (or another proxy) in order to find more relevant accounts to follow, and seed your algorithm with.
Unless you originally started using the account for niche tech purposes, your niche interests can remain a minor part of your bubble for sure.

Yep It's some kind of logical fallacy where they try to discredit what you're saying by asserting that you must have some kind of solution in order to justify identifying a problem. It feels as if they try to 'prove' that they are smarter than you are, because you clearly don't have solutions where they clearly do.
It's a weak form of deflection.

#18Everywhere... I have seen good devs on Reddit, Discord, Mastodon and even IRC.
Re: Ask HN: Where do all the web devs talk?
#19There is a very large presence over at Mastodon when it comes to people well versed in web standards. The public discussions are often very lively (in a good way).
Any tips on how to find those people or discussions?

There was nothing constructive about his criticism of the platform related to web dev in any way.
I know a lot about his politics now though.
