HN is unique in that it tends to be more civil than r/programming(and there's more valley/startup/funding/managerish bs). IMO
- saraid216 14y agoBelieve it or not, some of us aren't on Reddit.
- nekojima 14y agoAre these r/ references to Reddit? I had thought it was yet another new quirky unneeded programming language I had intentionally avoided to learn.
- joshAg 14y agoyes. reddit.com is a community site made up of sub-communities called subreddits. Subreddits have a path of /r/<community name>.

- RegEx 14y agoHN is not more civil. Perhaps less likely to be distracted, but not nicer (if that's what you mean by civil)
- tbatterii 14y agolikely less distracted, and more civil (in my experience anyway). but it varies by subreddit/topic I guess.
- RegEx 14y agoChoose a random article in the top 10 of HN at any given time, and there's a very high chance that the top upvoted comment is either FUD or overly critical. I feel like there is a lot more ego here than in /r/programming.
