I think lobste.rs might fill that niche. It's certainly less trendy and quieter. And you need an invite to post iirc.

Hello, If you are interested in lobste.rs invitations send me an email with your "keybase profile" and at least 1 public network identification that will let me know that you're not a self-destructive troll and I'll be happy to help you. UPDATE: Since I received a lot more emails than I thought and it's time consuming, my offer stands for another 24 hours. regards

Your question is far too vague. For example, how do you personally define "web-focused" or "technical" or "professional"? All of those definitions matter a whole lot. Also, you left out an important aspect, namely if you're looking for a discussion forum or an aggregator? Since I'm blindly guessing at what you mean, the following suggestions might not be what you want, but they're the best I can do. https://lobste.rs…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is kind of sad to see the decline of slashdot - I hope hn does not go the same way.

First post! :(
