Over the years I've used the internet less and less, HN is one of the few places I still spend my time.
I have graduated to not using the internet when at all possible. Its mostly been hijacked by large corporations whose only goal is you spending as much time scrolling as possible.
Would people who have "outgrown HN" even be here to read or answer your question?
True. Updated question.
YouTube, Reddit, Discord, my own websites and forums, and various wikis and news sites for hobbies I'm interested in.
Generally most of the sites I use are volunteer run and operated (mostly) non-commercially, so enshittification is unlikely.
Metafilter, Reddit, LinkedIn, and my own side project.

Honestly, gravitating more towards books and less internet
IMO you can only get so much out of bite-sized content, if you want real understanding you have to engage in deep long-form content
