      According to the link below they had a hard drive failure earlier today. Perhaps it happened again.

        They call themselves hackers yet they haven't even set up some sort of basic harddrive redundancy to prevent this from happening?

        They switched to a backup because of HDD failure in the primary then the backup had its own HDD failure. Someone didn't read the memo about the same model of server bought and installed at the same time at the same part of the same data center being fed from same power rail being likely to die at the same time.

        Maybe IQfy would be a better, less trash place if it were more heavily moderated like Hacker News

          didn't work for IQfy. adding too much moderation only makes things worse

            genuinely insane take
            IQfy is a total cesspool of garbage threads, even /b/ is more readable

            the point is that adding more moderators to IQfy didn't fix it. as you said it yourself, it's still garbage. yet it's heavily moderated

            once your community goes to shit, trying to reshape it with moderation doesn't work

            So what do you do then? Just leave the site and try scrounging the net for something better?

            The problem with IQfy is that it is barely moderated compared to what it should be

            you're delusional. no amount of moderation will fix it. the community went to shit. if anything, it should have less moderation at this point

      Half the comments on HN are smooth-brained /misc/-baits now. It's on the level of Boomerbook and Nextdoor screeching as in it's so inane, there isn't even anything there to agree or disagree about since the whole screeching is just non-argument.

    Was it ever good? I started visiting it about three years ago and it was already a conformist-midwit factory.

      Yes, but all the people who actually knew anything about tech or startups left years ago. The site is now populated by europoors (who cope about their low pay by posting endless articles about how Europe's way of doing X is better than the US), pajeets/chinks (they reveal themselves in immigration related threads. If you want a laugh, point out that both countries have far more restrictive immigration policies than the US and that they shouldn't throw stones from a glass house. They get incredibly mad) and American communists who don't even work in tech.

        It's really a shame that people with anything actually interesting to say have moved onto their separate Slack, Telegram, Mastodon, etc., and there isn't a centralized place where actual experts can disseminate useful information without being harassed by morons and schizos.
