Right, there's really nothing fundamentally different about HN and reddit other than the audience. At their core they are both vote-based commenting communities - and the generally high quality of comments makes me wish more sites (like Gawker, Engadget, etc) would use the same mechanism. Yes there is a lot of herd behavior but it's leagues better than the "First post!" cruft you see everywhere else.

- javanix 16y agoNot sure what you mean by this, but in my opinion differing UI and RSS feeds are pretty much the opposite of "fundamental differences".
