Someone should seriously do a PhD thesis on this thing. Such a wealth of human interaction.
Yes, all the subreddits/factions/projects created for this subs and their interaction between each other is highly fascinating. If I were in social/behavioral science I would be very tempted to do research and write about it.
I guess you could at least write one paper just about the blue corner in the bottom left. It started very strong but then somehow it lost steam and people left for other projects.
I've had it that way for so long that HN always looks odd to me when I log out and it goes back to orange.

It was very silly, the top headline was "Linux Possibly Defamed Somewhere"

"An anonymous reader writes: A "spaceshot" company that emerged from Y Combinator three summers ago and is targeting a revolutionary change in the way computers work has landed $64 million to help it in the race against much bigger tech giants. Rigetti Computing, which operates out of Berkeley and Fremont, is tackling quantum computing and going up against research being done by the likes of IBM, Intel, Microsoft and others... Rigetti is building a cloud quantum computing platform for artificial intelligence and computational chemistry. It recently opened up private beta testing of 'Forest', its API for quantum computing in the cloud. It integrates directly with existing cloud infrastructure and treats the quantum computer as an accelerator."
Then the link said March 28. Well, good luck to them on their quest to disrupt quantum computing, cloud computing, AI, and chemistry all at once. :)
saw the design and though "if I wanted only titles I'd be at HN". then I looked for a "old design" link. when I found none I actually deleted the site bookmark from my phone! the worst part is that I've been there long enough to know even the less obvious than pony April fools pranks.
/slow clap, Slashdot.
Edit: over a decade ago, actually! https://www.cnet.com/news/good-one-slashdot/
Happy Holidays! (I already donated my upvote to The Cause.)
It's taking me a while to parse this event.. I'm going to turn off the laptop and go get a drink now. Maybe two.
Damn you internets! What have I become!
I shall be back next year to repeat this experiment and see if it works again (assuming I remember).
