I actually heard of the /. hug of death first, (and your comment feels a little condescending there) and I know of them, but it just feels like HN is such a smaller community compared to Reddit and I see the "hug of death" so much more frequently on HN than I do on reddit (or any other site like them). I was just curious about the reason why. Like does HN have a large "silent" group, or is it something like that on HN sites climb much faster so I see them when they are down before they've had a chance to recover.
