Reddit has quite a few stability/uptime problems. Probably not his fault, but a scary prospect nonetheless.

EDIT: Did I get downvoted by someone who thinks Reddit is stable? It clearly isn't and anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming. I guess I'll stop going against the HN hivemind just to keep my account in good standing. This place feels more like Reddit every day.

jcol -- you've been here for 10 days, and in that time you've contributed stuff like this:

Linking to a bunch of "let me google that for you"? That's about the least productive answer you can give some one (not to mention it's incredibly rude, and incredibly unwelcoming to somebody asking a question); come on...

Not to be a jerk, maybe you have more than one account or something, but I don't really know that you can start getting angry at the HN community for not being up to your standards just yet.

That's why I downmodded you.

Didn't you prove him right ...?

Pretty much HN reminds me of Reddit before Digg imploded.

Yeah, just like reddit. Especially posts complaining about downvotes.

Just an observation: people on HN who complain about being downvoted rarely see their comments get out of the "grey" zone.

I think it's off base to blame someone that has meager personnel running such a highly trafficked site, especially since Conde Nast is/was reluctant to hire more. Read his blogs on his dedication to putting out fires. He didn't get enough resources to manage the complexity. I think most of HN's readers would hire him in a heartbeat, if they only got the chance.

This is the reason that you're getting downvoted, not because people think it's stable.
