I totally agree with you peter. Although, I feel it supplements Hacker news quite well. At least every post there tends to be interesting..
Reddit on the other hand I feel degenerated into Reddit-Chan (well,actually worse) after Digg added their diggbar. Reddit USED to be about honest debate. These days though, your karma revolves around how mainstream you are. Posting pedobears and other overused jokes gets you guaranteed karma.. It shouldn't. And thats why I joined Hacker news. Its good technical news, and every comment (besides mine I suppose), is generally worth reading.
- kaitnieks 17y agoI joined Reddit programming after I joined Hacker News. I keep hearing these bad things about Reddit but actually I find links and discussions interesting there. Sometimes more interesting than here because people are more relaxed. Yes, there are those obvious jokes and even purposely made accounts to post specific kind of useless comments but I just sniff and keep scanning the rest of them. In reddit it feels more like discussing with colleagues than with professors. I'm not saying HN is worse, on the contrary - both are important. Often I would read both - HN's and reddit's opinions on the same article.
