HN and Reddit are already walled gardens today, in the sense that they are in no way federated with other sites, and they both reserve the right to delete content at any point. There isn't much different between a blog that links to a Facebook post asking people to "discuss this post on Facebook" than doing the same with HN or Reddit.
- theamk 5y agoHard disagree. There are plenty of reasons to avoid Facebook specfically - tracking across the web, real name policy, per-user algorithmic feed, selling info, and many other things. None of them apply to HN, and I am pretty sure most of them don't apply to reddit either.
