Reddit gets a bad rep but many communities are great. Obviously the UX sucks but there are workarounds. Some subs are moderated more strictly than HN, many less so, so there is a mix. There is nothing quite like HN but you could join a mix of subs to get the same spectrum of programming, science, tech and a touch of politics.
