SoylentNews Asks: Where Else do you Hang Out?

from the spreading-the-word dept.

I would like to start by thanking everyone who has supported this project through story-submissions, comments, feedback, patience, bug-hunting (the list goes on). Also a huge thanks for the many that have purchased subscriptions. While we can't pay any employees or lawyers yet, it looks like we'll be able to cover server costs going forward, which is a good start.

We'd like to spread the word about SoylentNews, and as we currently aren't pursuing social-media or advertising, we've been brainstorming ideas on how to do so. It occurred to us that word-of-mouth got us here, and it's part of the reason this community is so organic, so we are curious: where else do you spend your time on 'the net'? Would other communities with whom you're associated be interested in SoylentNews? Would they fit in here? Would you be willing to drop a link for us?

    I also visit that site, but a lot of the people there are surprisingly hostile to free/open source software. I think it's because a lot of them make money by selling software.

    Many of them are just hostile to freedom in general. It isn't limited to software. It extends to freedom of thought and freedom of expression, too.

      All too true. The cheering over the removal of Mozilla's CEO was a little sickening, even to a pro-gay rights guy like myself. You either respect the rights of everyone, or you're doing nothing but supporting a division between privilege and oppression.

        That was an abysmal event. The intolerance they collectively engaged in far exceeded any that Eich may have exhibited.

    LOL AC there is a classic parody of HN along the lines of "I wrapped someone else's open source project in twitter bootstrap now where is my billion dollar buyout?"

    I just about peed myself laughing at that because its so painfully accurate about HN culture and startup culture in general.

    Its not ALL that bad, not at all.
