As if HN is some sort of intellectual silver snowflake and apparently better than Reddit. It's actually not. But I guess it's not worse either. Isn't that nice?

Define 'better'.

The average HN discussion is more substantive and on-topic than the average reddit thread, especially a default one.

No, it’s not.

As for on-topic - HN starts talking about Kotlin and Swift and pretty soon it’s discussing relatively theory and Madam Curie and what not on the same thread. And no, that’s not better and that’s not on-topic unless HN tries to define its own “on-topic” and it’s own “better” and then applies it to Reddit.

> Define 'better'

No, I won’t. Because yours would ne different from mine.
