I think by “like that” the person probably meant Reddit is filled with petite tyrants who cannot tolerate other people’s viewpoints. It wouldn’t surprise me if they call people who like Liquid Glass fascists.
It’s more like Roomba silenced their customers, disregarded and disrespected their opinions, and now financially bankrupt after said customers didn’t buy their products.
It either turns into hating that thing or a place where mildly criticizing that thing gets you banned. Or a place where telling someone they're full of it as tactfully as you can still gets you banned or your post deleted for "incivility."
i have never seen an HN thread about Reddit that didn’t turn into mostly hating Reddit.
Pretty much anywhere you go, people have a negativity bias both in what they say and in what they recall seeing. A great exception is Amazon reviews in which one must flip filters.
The entire internet is astroturfed and manipulated and full of bots and influence campaigns. Here included. Really not what I hoped it would turn into.
It happens here I’m sure but, and maybe this I naive of me, I do not think we are seeing the organized, funded efforts like they see on Reddit. It’s usually someone self promoting here in my experience. I’m sure it’s happened but idk, it just doesn’t seem like seem as coordinated and large scale. If it is well done y’all, you’re hiding well!
My experience with HN is people generally prefer to dog pile onto whatever was mentioned, say it is the worst option, then bicker with each other about all the solutions being proposed. I say bicker, but those threads can be great sources of info.
I see you haven’t been to the Apple subreddits lately. Liquid Glass was not well received

Both of these things happened.
Reddit sure is a lovely place.

Reddit is a weird place that is not real life.

Daily reminder companies have social media teams.
