> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.

As internet communities evolve over the years I have seen some changes in HN posts and comments but I suspect HN not trying to grow at any cost has done a good job of keeping it from becoming reddit.

That line is more than a decade old where the comparisons were more obvious, especially given Reddit's YC origins.

The real issue with Reddit is the capricious insanity of the mods. I got banned from enough subs over total nonsense that I just quit the whole thing.

It makes sense though, the mods are unpaid volunteers doing work that people generally don't appreciate and often criticize. You'd have to be a crazed zealot to sign up for that.

All that to say HN is nothing like that.

I've never once been banned from a subreddit, no matter the size nor the frequency of my posts. I assume it's because I don't participate in the divisive dialogue so pervasive on Reddit. You'll find weak people with great power anywhere, I suppose.
