The irony is that we said the same thing as early redditors about digg.

It's because of the differences in personalities between early adopters and the masses.

The fact that HN doesn't seem to have an objective or motive to be as big as possible is good. For Reddit, more viewers = more ad revenue = winning. At the very least, HN won't actively court and support silly goofy discussion.

It also helps that Reddit already exists, providing a forum for silly, goofy discussion for those who want it.
