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.

It is reducing my desire to read this site. I don't have anything against the subject matter necessarily, and sometimes it can be interesting, but in large parts it is attracting very low quality discussions and content about vibe coding X product.

Can you link to some specific examples of low-quality discussions?

As with any Major Ongoing Topic on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), the goal is to reserve frontpage space for the higher-quality stories and try to downweight the follow-ups and low-quality ones. We can't do this perfectly, of course, but we try.
