I've been lurking on HN now for more than 2years, and the change OP is referring about is totally true... I don't care about boring news coming from TC/Mashable/... Now HN is only about: -Facebook -blogging shit -why no women in IT ? bouhouhou we are all macho jerk.. common grow a pair white knights, smells like virgins over here. -"How Xcompany raised x$$, and why you should definitively not listen to these advices.…

The same '-Facebook -blogging shit -why no women in IT' was definitely a prominent part of HN 2 years ago..

"White knights"? "Smells like virgins"? Are you 14 years old?

If you are over 14, maybe the reason people care about misogyny in technology is folks such as yourself providing a good object lesson.

HN content driven by users. It's always evolving. There is no 1-person pushing the content, it's there because people want to read it. In 6 months whats popular maybe different again. Silly post!

I agree - real complaint being made is that this feed has become more and more focused on bullshit business strategy and entrepreneurial tips.

This site is less about technology and more about how to make money from technology.

The various corporate movements of big tech companies is not 'Hacker subculture' and never was.

The biggest change I've found is that, more and more, HN resembles Slashdot's YRO (Your Rights Online) section: http://yro.slashdot.org/

Well, even with misunderstanding of hacking, still there is barely anything programming related on front page. HN looks like a "tech world news, and some other interesting stuff". Can't say if it was that different last year, wasn't following HN then. But currently it is reddit front page with lest cats and a little more tech news

It's worth remembering that this board was originally called Startup News. Acquisitions, fundraising is still relevant to that intent at least.

Why was it changed to Hacker News ?

Cant agree. The thing I unlinke most is links related to politics getting included a lot.

There's nothing stopping the OP (or anyone) submitting and voting new topics that they like. Looking at his/her profile I see he's only submitted 3 threads & 0 comments. The community here is an active thing, and if you want to it to change, you really have to contribute to it.
