The difference though, is that HN clearly does not claim to be an uncensored free for all. HN has a very strong focus, and strong rules. They want a very limited window, and that's not a bad thing. I think that will help them stick around for a long time. But that makes reddit and HN an apples to oranges comparison. They aren't even trying to be the same thing. My personal concern, is that there is no reddit replacement that has a broad focus. All of the alternatives seem to be racist shit-holes, or fluffy, clearly manufactured facebook-feed alternatives.
