I don't understand why people feel the need to cross-post random Reddit threads over here. If you are interested in discussing it then just do it directly on Reddit? Such content is adding no value here.
- silisili 3y agoAgreed. I've just started flagging them, unless it's something super interesting and/or niche.
- politelemon 3y agoThe same should be said for twitter threads, which are far less accessible, and yet we see lots of those posted here. They are still permitted despite the login wall rule The reason is it's an interesting topic, not everyone has an account there, and it's good to have a meta or different discussion. So on the contrary, it adds good value.

Agree with this reasoning and I'll add a bit more to your point about "different discussion". There was a reddit story a tad over a month ago: "Someone in IT trolled me for over a decade" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39678813 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39678813 It was interesting to read the reactions. On reddit, the story was not questioned at all and the overwhelming response was sympathy & good advice for the user. It just happened to trend that way (sometimes the first few responses dictate the direction). On HN, the overwhelming response was that the story was fake - with a fair amount of eye-opening analysis. Sometimes each community brings a unique perspective to a story (sometimes not). Sometimes reddit threads - all by themselves - add significant value.
