Everything that has up/down vote and karma will turn into reddit eventually.
There's a natural progression of message boards: neutral forum with votes, one side dominates, hide downvote count to suppress dissent, censor dissent, become a hivemind, shrink due to 'hawking radiation' of people randomly escaping the pull inwards, eventually gone.
Hackernews and some .wins were at the "hide downvote" stage - with Trump 47 HN is now at the censor dissent stage.
I do, but I also don't go anywhere else on the site either.
The few times I've looked elsewhere, like getting tagged in drama, it felt like that New Reddit and I hated it.
Ah, so that's what we have in common.
I think we probably have too much in common, which is why we default to arguing and headbutting despite our history of cooperation.

I meant New Reddit as in the actual changed formatting and UI that they created a few years ago which they called that.
But everything else you said is accurate regardless.
