The heise forum sadly has been a cesspit of trolls for a long time. In the last 5 years it got even worse because some of the conspiracist and nazi trolls from the Telepolis forum came over to the tech forums an I think heise don't know how to properly deal with them.

I know Heise (the publication) for its good coverage of specific issues, the most recent I recall being the data collection practices of coronavirus-related apps [1].

I've always assumed it's something like a better version of The Register, [2] which I used to read a while ago, but don't really know that much about it, especially the comments section. Thanks for the heads-up.

Heise is definitely one of the best tech media/print houses.

But their handling of their comment section is seriously lacking and it looks like it is stuck in early 90ies usenet discussions and worse.

What is the difference between golem and heise. I like both but are they equally popular?

I think so. Some might say Golem nowadays sometimes is a bit deeper technologically and more up to current affairs, but in the end it comes down to taste.
