I've used both daily for some years. They are different. Reddit is far larger and often more fun. Yet it can rapidly become silly, and in some cases quite violent. HN is always poilte, fresher, and serious. I come here to get discussion about things that matter, and go to Reddit for distraction. HN can be hostile too, yet the mob here rarely uses outright "why don't you kill yourself?" violence.
