> I just don’t know that a place like HN could keep its standards without a place like Reddit Yeah. A year or two after the first version of Ubuntu was released, someone on a Debian mailing list complained that Ubuntu didn't deserve the attention it was getting. A long-time Debian user or developer replied and said Ubuntu was the best thing to happen to Debian in years because Ubuntu was Debian's idiot filter. I didn't fully realize how true that was until I watched the Arch Linux community receive a huge influx of Ubuntu refugees who seemed to be switching to Arch solely to participate in the Arch subreddit's meme culture.
