Earlier quoted context omitted.

The domain itself suggests overwhelming political bias.

Every forum has an overwhelming bias. You just choose what bias you wish to consume.

> Every forum has an overwhelming bias.

What is that based on? It's not my experience, and it seems like binary reasoning: Either no bias or all bias. Everyone lies, for example, but some are far more honest than others. Every developer writes bugs, but it would be ridiculous to say everyone's code is 'overhelmingly' buggy.

https://aihackers.ai is a recent community built around AI contents (built on a tool called HN+ - https://www.hn.plus )

Is this your own project? Who's submitting these links?

I see lots of links but no comments and no usernames, is this all organic posting or a mix?

The almost same question from 7 hours ago, here you go https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37611708

Luiz André Barroso died last weekend. News broke last night, and fell off the front page by the time the US woke up. I'm guessing a lot of people who would have wanted to didn't see it. We all like new stuff, but it's a shame how much timing matters on these sites.

HN at like 5-8am EDT can be kinda great. A lot of random but interesting stuff gets to the front page for brief times.

What is the forum with lots of business and financial professionals that recently got a bunch of attention? I think it is a four-letter acronym that starts with an E. I’ve tried searching for it but can’t find it. It seemed like an interesting place when I checked it out.

The first thread I click, and I see that it's basically just 4chan without image embeds.

They are not necessarily "like HN" but I thought it might be helpful to list communities I participate in, other than HN, which I believe have been a net positive in my life.

The Vlog Brothers - they have a whole community, videos, newsletters, books, podcasts, on and on. They talk about good positive things, make good positive change in the universe.

Corridor Crew - similar, they have videos, content, etc. Group of friends that started a CGI effects house and analyze such. They wholesome for me.

Camping with Steve - a youtube Channel where this guy camps, enjoys the simple things. He's a good guy.

I've also found community in local small business groups.

People are answering this wrong and focused too much on the site needing to have the same functionality as HN. The spirit of the question is where do other professionals (musicians, doctors, real estate developers, lawyers, etc.) congregate online. I don't know the answer for most of those but here are two examples

- SDN for aspiring doctors and med students https://forums.studentdoctor.net/forums/

- Wall Street Oasis for people in finance https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum

Not really the same spirit, but Marginal Revolution (https://marginalrevolution.com/) also has its own community around it and is one of the most influential blogs in the world. Also has an active comment section with an interesting cast of characters.
