I like reddit. In fact, it is in my rotation of sites I check at least once daily.
I visit HN mainly for the technical/startup articles. I would prefer, personally, for general interest items to remain on reddit, since I check both. It's not good vs. evil! We can have both.
I'm a redditor too; but don't you think that the questions here would be a different nature than the ones you see on reddit? Especially if it was someone like the author of this AMA; I get the feeling there would be a lot more advice seeking questions here (and far less begging for money).
