If memory serves me right, there was a lot of discussion in the early days of HN about not being Reddit (when Reddit was much more low quality and getting beaten by Digg).

Reddit got a bunch of its initial users via a link or two from PG essays. Indeed, there are some of the early users there who I recognize as early users here, too. It was pretty good at that stage. And then reddit started growing, and linking to all kinds of stuff like Ron Paul, and lots of "outrage" stories, and other flamewar topics, and promptly went to hell in a handbasket.
