Reddit can be quite good for that too.
- organsnyder 8y agoTo counter the downvotes: yes, Reddit can be a good forum for productive dialogue. It depends on the subreddit you're on—there are some subs (especially smaller and/or ones with heavy, thoughtful moderation) that are real gems.
- Springtime 8y agoI found it somewhat ironic at the downvotes considering the lowering in quality of HN comments I've observed over the past couple years, coming across comments in more frequency that remind me of stereotypical Reddit one-liners and off-the-cuff remarks (not true for all subs but it is a common perception), in some threads even being among the highest rated where previously they would be looked down upon. Thinking back it coincides somewhere around the same time HN improved their mobile viewing experience. Unsure if it's related but does feel HN reached some wider audience, or at least has a broader acceptance of varying levels of quality for comments.
