  That very much depends. Although there are plenty of well curated and moderated subreddits with quality posts and technically knowledgeable posters equal to anything HN has to offer, Hacker News also tends to descend into juvenile piss-taking rancor and bigotry with subjects outside of its techie wheelhouse. At this point I'm certain dang has his constant pleas to avoid gender/race/religious war, nationalistic slurs and "posting in the flamewar style" linked to hotkeys just to avoid carpal tunnel.

    Yeah this site isn’t half of what I think it is. Still, the quality of top level links tend to be pretty good and I tend to find stuff on here I otherwise wouldn’t have.
