NL's biggest advantage might not be the tech, but the sense of community

NL很轻松

确实,NL 这种“啥都聊”的烟火气太难得了,不像别的站一打开全是 AI 中转链接…

简单轻松,有价值

The user base here still isn’t anywhere near as large as L’s, although it is indeed a bit freer.

The most amazing thing, haha—I didn’t expect the admins to be so active.

Indeed, these days the forum is basically centered around AI, with very little discussion of technology.

It really feels like as the number of people grows, the pros are less willing to share. It’s pretty hard to stay chill when advanced Level 3 tech posts get instantly reposted to Xiaohongshu and Douyin.

Yeah, whenever I open linux.do, it’s just all AI everywhere.

If not for AI, I wouldn’t even know about these tech forums (lol).
But non-tech forums aren’t affected much by AI, like Bangumi and Doki Chinese Club, for example.
