Producer at a game development company. I love tech. I love business. I come across a lot of content I care about despite my lack of programming ability/knowledge.

I love HN for its general disdain for trolling & fluff. People are generally really respectful of each other around here too!

Very cool! Have you found any other online communities that share that respect and lack-of-trolling?

[j2bax]

Honestly, none that keep me coming back like HN. There are definitely some decent communities within reddit if you are willing to wade through all the garbage that Reddit throws at you by default. I'm sure you are probably aware but pretty much every specific interest you might have, probably has a r/ and generally the more specific, the less trolling and the more focused the conversation.

True, Reddit has been hit-or-miss. I know they tried to make Imzy, but that didn't really take (and is now closed down).

Yea.. 4 years ago Reddit was much more like HN in this regard. It is a shame how bad it has become

HN includes a much more limited crowd. I would theorize Reddit is a more realistic reflection of our society (not that we want to focus on that, so I'm not saying it's any better, quite the opposite).
