As if HN isn't a gigantic echo chamber filled with a very similar demographic of people to Reddit? Just like any social media site, there is a lot of good and a lot of bad.

Reddit is "moderated" by a collection of volunteers who moderate according to vague, arbitrary "standards" that largely hinge on the cultural and political beliefs of the moderator and on astroturfers trying to control narratives.
