With /r/programming quickly becoming a mirror of HN I've reason to believe it is just redditors coming to HN. This in turn is leading to more joke/pun comments (something I haven't seen on HN in a long time) and the more liberal applying of downmods. Edit: I say "quickly becoming", it's been like that for a while actually.
