Ask HN: Websites / Apps that aren't a waste of time?

Quora isn't horrible, but sadly it seems it's kind of intrusive from a privacy perspective. Still it has interesting insights on psychology and personal experiences, with people who enjoy writing. It's like an organized Q and A blog.

Maybe you can approach this a bit differently, it sounds like you are looking for another place to waste your time without learning anything.

Learning doesn't happen by scrolling.

When you find interesting blog posts on HN, skim the other articles on the blog and if they seem interesting, subscribe to their RSS feeds.

For the Mac/iOS I use NetNewsWire. It syncs over iCloud and it’s free and open source.

I deleted my Reddit account last year after 8 years.

Read newspapers. Read about Philisophy and society. Look up data on national/local trends (national/local government usually have databasen). Educate yourself.

Lord knows the world need more of that in the coming years.
