I agree to some degree.
Maybe it’s because Reddit has so incredibly many subreddits…? Reddit as a whole is therefore, naturally, very fractured. Whereas on HN we all share the same frontpage, the same ‘Ask Hn’, and 'dang is the moderator of it all. HN also has quite generous profile pages, where you can write a lot, or nothing at all. And many of us who comment here work in the same industry.
Perhaps these factors contribute to making HN more of a ‘place’?
- CM30 3y agoThis is 100% why Hacker News has more of a community feel to me. Everyone sees the same content, and discussions aren't heavily segregated by topic the way they are on Reddit. So we get to see the same people share opinions on a multitude of topics, which makes them seem more human than on Reddit, where you're likely to only encounter certain people in certain subreddits.
