> Every thread in this conversation is A+ idiotic. … Reddit crowd
I am not sure how this elitism is justified - when it comes to military or international law, there is no difference between asking on HN and a Joe off the street.
Add in the fact that many software developers are, my, how to put this, emotionally challenged, and of course each thread will be idiotic.
It's not elitism, it's conservatism. The people who will signup are the same ones who upvote every "Trump got slammed by XX" threads on reddit. Once they know that another and a more genuine reddit exists, they'll starting shovel that stuff here too.
