Tell HN: Hacker News is almost reddit

Whenever I think HN is becoming too reddit-like, I go spend some time on reddit. I always feel better after.

"We aren't catching up to reddit" isn't very reassuring. A downward slide is still a downward slide.

That this headline got so many upvotes on reddit is, to borrow a word, "mind-blowing" to me.

Are basic electromagnetic principles big news to such a large segment of the populace? (A segment that is internet-savvy and fancies itself as being more sophisticated somehow.) Unfortunately, when basic physics comes up with my Stanford-educated girlfriend, I see more evidence of how far the US education system has degenerated. (When I explain, she gets it, but the education system simply didn't effectively equip her with the knowledge.)

Not only do they not know, they don't even have a framework for knowing the magnitude of their ignorance.

Or is that a troll? Please, God, let it not be real and be a troll!

Unfortunately, Digg users found 4Chan, who found Reddit, who found HN. It's going to happen.

As a former Digg and current Reddit user, I'm happy to have found HN. The comments are (for the most part) well thought out and intelligent here.
