Ask HN: Does anyone care enough about bots to switch social networks?

Hacker News - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:11pm

I built a content aggregator / discussion platform where being human isn't a policy, it's structural. Invite chains mean your reputation is mathematically tied to who you vouch for. Inviting a bot destroys your own standing. Discovering one bot farm wipes the entire downstream network in a single action — making it economically unviable to operate one here at any scale.

My honest suspicion is that nobody really cares enough to actually switch platforms over this, despite all the daily complaints of talking to bots on current content aggregators.

Long story short... Trying to find out if people really care enough, before I go further than the beta site I've already built.

Happy to send invites to anyone who wants to poke at it.

Show HN: GTFS·X – a free, web-based transit schedule (GTFS) editor

Hacker News - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:08pm

Editing a bus route or schedule shouldn't require expensive software that's difficult to learn, so I built a free, web-based editor that transit agencies can use for free (or pay a nominal fee for cloud-based schedule hosting). Find your local bus service using "Search Catalog" from the "Import" button or explore a demo feed at https://www.gtfsx.com/demo

Built with Claude Code. Hosted on CloudFlare.

After reading the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.22391), I started playing with a visualization that helped me understand it more deeply. This is the result. Hope you enjoy it!

Tell HN: Building an Activist Developer Collective

Hacker News - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 1:03pm

Resistbot (and the more controversial ICEBlock), among others showed that a simple app with the right idea and distribution can move thousands of people to act, and I don't think we've come close to exhausting what's possible there, especially considering how AI / agents have empowered small dev teams.

I'm putting together a group of activist developers focused on brainstorming, hacking, shipping, and promoting activist tech end-to-end, and seeing what gains traction. We already have a few very talented devs. To be effective, we need a point of view. We lean anti-authoritarian, pro civil liberties, and more socially progressive than not. Practical idealists. If that’s not your thing, no sweat.

As a jumping-off point, I've pitched a WIP real-time boycott app (intercepts checkout flows, analyzes any product/company dynamically, suggests alternatives), but your ideas are as valuable than your time.

If you have an activist project that needs sharp technical people, come pitch it! If you just want to see where you can contribute any amount of time or expertise, we'd love to have you. Email me for an invite: books.elevens.8b@icloud.com
