Another forum I like is Metafilter. There are some HNers over there, fwiw. But, you know, the situation is really complicated. For example, some people didn't "leave," they just changed their handle. You can never step in the same river twice. If you value HN and want it to be more of a particular thing, you can choose to give your attention to things you value and try to grow more of that.
It depends what you're interested in. If your answer is "startups", then this really is the place. Design? http://news.layervalut.com Tech & Development? http://lobste.rs

These were extremely trending topics with relevance, it's just the people behind codes of conduct are able to get away with it by flagging criticism as "off topic".

It has remained small (relative to an internet scale) and that has allowed it to remain high quality. It is a little more difficult to sign up and post (and charges a one time fee of $5), which makes signing up a much more deliberate thing. Trolls aren't going to waste $5.
A side note, one of my favorite quotes from the internet is originally credited to MeFi user blue_beetle: "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold." http://www.metafilter.com/95152/Userdriven-discontent

I do my best to avoid controversies (generate or feed).
HN is the coolest and safest place I know. I tried other sites but they are more violent. Too much struggles.
Peace!
