Can you cite one, please? I'd like to see an example of a comment considered to be Reddit-like that isn't downvoted on HN to diminished visibility.

- Jach 11y agoThey are all over, I think it's easy to spot them. Here's one I saw earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10433865 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10433865 While HN has with exceptional moderation effort made this place "nice", as opposed to the generally "mean" Reddit, it's optimized for a certain kind of niceness that doesn't necessarily align with the hacker aesthetic, and reddit's brand of rudeness is just one characteristic of reddit, general low quality comments are the problem. Quality has been declinining since at least https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403696 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403696 and on the aesthetic side I think this thread sums up what's good and bad about the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8214343 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8214343 (The bad: complaining about the name, political correctness in general.)
