Yes, we do need to mention it, since a lot of HN users have deep, deep biases against the idea that anything good happens on reddit :)

- skeletonjelly 15y agoIt's a funny label to apply. Arguably, all that it really takes to become a redditor is a username, password, and a captcha.
- skeletonjelly 15y agoI'm being downvoted. Am I wrong? Please let me know rather than punishing me for reasons unknown.
- nhoss2 15y agoI think you are missing the point in your shallow analysis
- skeletonjelly 15y agoMaybe. Was just pointing that fact out though. I've been on reddit for 4 years now. After the community has grown it just seems a bit naive to refer to it as a little exclusive club of intellectualism, or from an outsider's perspective, a meme graveyard. Just an observation.
- Jgrubb 15y agoI assumed you were being funny, since HN doesn't even have a captcha in their signup form. Have an upvote.
- heyimfromreddit 15y agoThen I think my username choice was a mistake :(
- rmc 15y agoSo then if they create good content, then just link to it. We want to think we're a meritocracy, and we will upvote things if they are good. It's not a popularity contest, nor a political game where we need to "prove" that something/someone is good.
