- yreg 3y agoThe rule stating it is an illusion doesn't make it untrue.
- smcl 3y agoThere’s a 16+ comment discussion on whether or not an innocent, on-topic and factually correct comment is appropriate. HN is not becoming Reddit, it’s becoming more HN than ever. Personally I think it’s a little suspicious that there are HN users who appear to be attempting to discredit or silence comments praising the efficacy of a proven anti-vampire technology.
- pfannkuchen 3y ago> It's a semi-noob illusion The evidence provided for this is example comments from 10+ years ago complaining that HN was becoming Reddit way back then. However, Reddit 10+ years ago was very different from Reddit today. It is arguably(?) much worse today. HN may be turning into Reddit continuously, it's just that Reddit keeps moving the goal posts.
