I was hesitant to think/say this, because it is a different beast.... but the more i read about what other people think, as well as my own usage of it - it might be. Although to be fair, reddit has had it's fair share of past dramas too.

I think it's time we move beyond reddit and build something bigger and better. It was nice while it lasted.

Reddit getting bigger is the whole reason started going bad.

I created my HN accout 7 years ago after lurking for a couple years. People have been saying the same thing about HN the whole time I’ve been around.

It's a bit different though with the moderation and lack of revenue focus.

Well I think the self moderation the HN crowd does can’t be scaled. Reddit also didn’t moderate enough at fist. I also don’t like being at the mercy of bad subreddit mods.

I keep thinking that can't happen, right now it seems to be because there's not a good competitor. That's a scenario we've seen play out enough in the past, I'm personally waiting for something and have been on reddit since 05/06 time.
