Thank you. This really bothers me. The literal last phrase in the Hacker News Guidelines is: > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit

Thank you. This really bothers me. The literal last phrase in the Hacker News Guidelines is: > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills. [1] Which is cute and all, but handwaves away a real problem. IMO we should always point out and ridicule when a post or comment is too Reddit because it is a real problem. So I try not to say anything when this happens, but I'm glad when someone still points it out. I'm not a programmer, not in tech, and not an Anglo... I come here because it's the last place on the internet aside from 4chan that is free from Reddit-like posting (I just ignore all the posts about Rust or whatever). Please, don't take this away from us. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html PS. This place is also becoming Bluesky, which is its own problem, but I guess that's another topic.
