Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?"

I would very much like to enjoy HN the way I did years ago, as a place where I'd discover things that I never otherwise would have come across.

The increasing AI/LLM domination of the site has made it much less appealing to me.

People who are a little late to the site may not know there was a time on HN where Erlang has even more frontage submission than the best of AI / LLM.

Ruby Rails, Postgres, SQLite, Rust, etc. They all have their moments and I dont think LLM right now is as overwhelming as any other hyped moments. Certainly not Erlang.

I miss the days of daily Haskell posts.

"tell me you like Haskell without telling me you like Haskell" moment

I would definitely follow a HN fork with posts of such amusing spirit.

Back in the early days of HN most people thought my username was my initials. Alas, if those were actually my initials it would be a fantastic example of nominative determinism.
