HN has been gradually slipping into a Reddit-like community. It's become more casual and emotional. Which I think is a bad trend, but there's not much that will stop it.
- tluyben2 13y agoHaven't noticed that so far luckily; on Reddit people just stopped reading mostly I feel. If you are not the top comment, generally people won't read. I think people here still read all comments generally (about something they find interesting obviously that is).
- camus2 13y agoHN is becoming (very) popular. HN has always been a very influencial media, despite its minimal nature,in IT. So more people posting => less quality news maybe. HN has something other networks dont have : the ability for users to engage with very prestigious IT people in more than 140 characters, and to get relevant feedback on a product. It would be a pity HN lose that crowd because of a few bad apples.
