You're nice. I don't appreciate the extremely tired "hn looks more and more like Reddit every day" slop and I think you handled it with grace.

- reaperman 2y agoComparing HN to resdit is explicitly against HN guidelines. Though sometimes I think the only reason it’s never “true” is because Reddit is a moving target. Both HN and reddit get worse over time, so HN never catches up to how bad Reddit is. Also the bots have not invaded HN, which is a truly massive distinction.
- phatskat 2y ago> Both HN and reddit get worse over time I think this is probably true of any online community. I’d wager that an online community needs more users to grow and be sustainable, and more users inevitably means more content, and more content means less _high-quality_ content overall.
