I never figured HN is like Reddit, where inside jokes get you votes.

I hope HN never goes there.

Inside jokes getting votes is not a "Reddit quality", it's a quality of communities. HN is a community too.

Why? We already have one Reddit.

Because people here are taking themselves too seriously. A bit of humor and subculture could ease them on. You can be an expert/millionaire/famouswhatever and enjoy something else than endless debates where people are trying to be technically correct and pessimistic to the bones.

Maybe it's just me ?

replying to me instead of metafunctor cause we reached the limit of nesting for comments

It's ok, there is place for all of us on HN. As long as comments are not mostly filled by either behavior, we can all enjoy the benefit of the intelligent and knowledgeable HN community.

I don't think there's a limit (at least not at this point), just that at a certain depth there's a delay before the reply link appears.

Alternative answer: maybe they should carry heavily nested comments on to another page, like they do on- ah, never mind.

I enjoy being technically correct. I don't enjoy someone else's subculture and humour. I never feel like I fit in with those.
