reddit.

reddit, especially /r/programming. And maybe some niche ones like /r/roguelikedev and procedural generation.
Also, avoid HackerNews like the plague unless you wanna parse through hipster shits and can bear with not being able to downvote shit. And on HN, the one who's on top is the one who wrote the classiest sentence. Period. It has no value. </rant>

This. The community at large sucks massive dick, very few reasonable people on that site, somehow moreso than neo-/g/. Unfortunately, the site's original strength was its link aggregation, and it is still strong in that regard. Lots of interesting news to be read, but participate as little as possible. I'd say to lurk the smaller reddit boards as well with the same mentality/goal.

I wouldn't kick HackerNews entirely out of the loop because once in a common while there's actually something interesting but unless you like reading about people jerk off to/complain about the hip new JS framework, just subscribe to their email newsletter just to stay posted if anything really interesting comes up.

Overall I'd be careful because any old joe schmoe can post a link to their Medium blog and call it a news post, too.
