Reddit and HN are entirely unrelated, and any sense of community that you think exists in a subreddit is your own perception, not reality. Sorry, it just isn't there, because the platform doesn't allow for it.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoMy personal experience strongly disagree with yours. Not every subreddit develops a community where people recognize each other, but many do. Or, as you say, I'm imagining it. Regardless, my argument still holds. Whatever semblance of community there is, it's obvious it won't appreciate someone disrupting it in order to make a buck.
- diminoten 8y agoSorry, you're completely imagining it, and no your argument doesn't hold. Also, I hate to break it to you, but Reddit is making more than a buck on your little "community". Nothing whatsoever is different or special about Reddit vs. this website. You're not part of anything, you're not building anything, the people you think of as "friends" on Reddit aren't, and you need to realize that. That site isn't for what you think it's for.
