at least here there is good discussion
- wglb 17y agoHmmm. So are we saying that reddit is kind of halted at a certain stage of development, while HN is showing maturity?
- zimbabwe 17y agoI remember when people would comment on various Ron Paul stories on Reddit with a similar sneer toward Digg. HN is not a unique community except for the fact that it's thus far remained away from the public eye. The more people join HN, the more frequent the "newb waves" of unrelated stories will come, and the fewer calm periods like this one we'll have. I'm hoping that HN grows slowly, because it isn't trying for fame unlike Reddit, but I've got no doubts that in time it'll go the way of every other community that relied on an upvote-downvote system to keep users in line.
- radu_floricica 17y agoOh, it _is_ growing slowly. A friend of mine who shares my interests, follows Y Combinator and is a fan of PG for a couple of years still had no idea that HN exists. I was pretty shocked when I found out. I guess Erlang week works...
