It is suffering from DDOS attack. People are already politicizing it trying to blame Iran.

Definitely has nothing to do with axing the staff

The site has performed more or less the same after the staff cuts as it did before. I say this as somebody who has used it nearly daily for ten-ish years now. Most users I know have the same experience. Maybe you noticed something if you're parked on Twitter for hours at a time, but I try to limit my exposure to people that do that.

I get that Musk is a dipshit and that there are other problems with the site since the change of ownership, but the griping about stability seems to come from people that don't actually use it.

"The site has been unreachable for more than 80 days."

Why are you downvoted? It is what the site says. What the hell has happened to HN?

Its not even a controversial comment. Da hell?

Good time to consider and try out alternatives! Such as Bluesky

Is Bluesky good enough and dense enough if I block all political keywords? X is good enough for me after muting all political keywords.

There was a link recently to a site that lists all top links on Bluesky and overwhelmingly all were about US politics.

It's becomming slower and slower over time. Feeds often don't load properly. Refresh only works properly manually since the feed often disconnects. Dragscroll (or whoever it is called when you press a button and you can scroll by dragging the mouse up/down) is broken and results in 100% cpu load and a stalled site until you cancel it. But these are just my annoyances, maybe it's just me. I'm switching it out for alternatives as much as possible anyway.

And as a bonus there is rampant racism and hate.

It has great support for blocking yes. In fact, there are curated and/or crowdsourced block lists that one can subscribe to so you don’t have to spend as much time doing it yourself. I am sure there’s one that’s suitable for your needs but I don’t have any to recommend
