I'm pretty sure for the last decade or so the main reason people read and contribute to HN is that it's not reddit. Part of that HN is not known for the perpetual "drama" generation the reddit community is known for. I say that as someone who left HN for reddit. And someone who mostly tries not to comment here, lest that makes HN more like reddit. HN should stay different.
