- mehrzad 14y agoInsulting the Reddit community on HN? We can finally do it without being downvoted? That's somewhat pleasing.
- meritt 14y agoPleasing? So you prefer for the HN community to be outwardly elitist and can look down at other online communities? Or are you just saying being able to voice ones opinion without a torrent of downvotes is a step in the right direction?
- mehrzad 14y agoThe latter. I actually go on reddit, though I dislike much of it. Ironically, now I've been downvoted like crazy, but I did say something cruel.
- prawn 14y agoHow is it childish and reactionary? They're headlines you can imagine seeing on The Onion, but are legit; it's harmless and a touch amusing. It's just riffing off The Onion's style of presenting content. I post on HN but don't have an account on Reddit, but I think pigeon-holing an entire community is more likely to be considered childish and reactionary. This isn't "our site vs your site" and some sort of tribal war. What about this site or its content has irritated you? (Main parts of Reddit I do read are AskScience and AskHistorians and they are, for the most part, excellent. Anything but juvenile.)
- Tloewald 14y agoLooks like trademark infringement to me. Come up with your own identity.
- prawn 14y agoIs that "reactionary" though? Maybe a bit unprofessional. They could easily rework this to host their own CSS/images, come up with a better name (The Garlic?) and tweak the appearance a bit. Hardly worth the slight on another community. I expect better on HN.
- muppetman 14y agoThis comment seems childish and a little bit over-reactionary. Oh, I see, you feel superior to people that post on Reddit. That makes sense.
- lurkinggrue 14y agoThat's a bit childish and a little bit reactionary of you.
