That’s Reddit. On HN I sometimes find people with niche interests and expertise in all kinds of fields, which I like. It’s also relatively civilized. You don’t need to be a 4-chan edgelord to be not-normie.

HN broadly participated in the moral panic over lab leak theory being allowed to exist. This place is far more 'normie' than it likes to believe itself to be and is nowhere near as independent thinking as it pats itself on the back for being. But it does exceed Reddit in the percentage of posters who confuse their wealth for wisdom.

Reddit is just HN with lower standards of communication, puns, one word rebuttals, all that stuff is fair game there.

Being able to follow cultural norms of the local group is just about the least remarkable thing about any given group of humans. HN is not special.

Reddit are the nerds/losers of the online-o-sphere.
