As internet communities evolve over the years I have seen some changes in HN posts and comments but I suspect HN not trying to grow at any cost has done a good job of keeping it from becoming reddit.

- Tao3300 3y agoThe real issue with Reddit is the capricious insanity of the mods. I got banned from enough subs over total nonsense that I just quit the whole thing. It makes sense though, the mods are unpaid volunteers doing work that people generally don't appreciate and often criticize. You'd have to be a crazed zealot to sign up for that. All that to say HN is nothing like that.
- blackmesaind 3y agoI've never once been banned from a subreddit, no matter the size nor the frequency of my posts. I assume it's because I don't participate in the divisive dialogue so pervasive on Reddit. You'll find weak people with great power anywhere, I suppose.
