Millions of readers, the amount of active commenters is much lower.

In addition, HN doesn't get much of the "classic" troll crowd (no matter if 4chan/8chan/outright real Nazis/gamergate) or Trump supporters - from the occasional politics thread aside, there's nothing much of interest for them here, and so the biggest blocks of trolls simply stay away.

Still... I wonder how many messages are reported per day. BTW, I don't get why you're being downvoted...

I do. The direct call-out of a specific group of people for their position on the political spectrum is pretty much directly against what (I think) we're trying to do here. It's unnecessary, too. Could have just left it at "classic troll crowd".

He's lumping Trump supporters together with Neo Nazis. Also hitting on all "inflammatory" topics at once. If someone on the "other side" would do that, the comment would be dead in seconds and the poster be punished by dang.
