Are there any other non-reddit forums you guys use?

Hey guys. Just registered, using the same account name as my reddit username. I thought it was interesting that we finally splintered off of reddit -- are there any other non-reddit forums you guys use? I know the nyc rationality group has a google group, but for the past 5ish years it's felt like every forum I use has been centralized on reddit, which has honestly been pretty convenient. Was just curious about other people's browsing habits.

Thanks.

The overlap with the SSC/Motte community is higher than you'd expect. The community has a higher-than-elementary level understanding of AI, the tech sector, and business, and leans politically center or slightly left for US politics.

leans left? It is left

Of course. I almost just mentally lump in HN with reddit as part of my morning bed-browsing every day.

well, HN is much much larger than ssc/themotte - ssc articles occasionally get frontpage, and a lot of us browse there, but there isn't much overlap relative to HN just by size.

Mostly just use it for programming related reading.
