I don't think so. I don't see this kind of behaviour widely upvoted in HN or in Lobsters, and we're no less anonymous here or there.

- chaostheory 11y agoWe're a much smaller community with a much smaller scope in topics as well. Reddit is another animal.
- mrec 11y agoHN is small and heavily weighted towards programming-related types. You don't see that kind of behaviour widely upvoted in the smaller programming-related subreddits either. I'm a heavy Reddit user who steers well clear of the default-sub cesspits, and I basically never see it.
- gohrt 11y agoHN moderation is design in a way that forces very slow growth, which controls the content of new posters/posts. You can't get to an X-million posting community with that style. FWIW, Slashdot comments sit between HN and Reddit. Also, HN intentionally avoids most controversial kinds of top-level post content that Reddit explicitly encourages in subreddits.
