I say this in jest, but is HN that different? Show HN, paywalled content hits the front page many times daily, fairly predictable top comments.

Of course the communities are different, but the bullshitisms are pretty similar

Yeah, hackernews seems much different. There are zero low effort meme posts on the first view pages. There's a variety of interesting content. The comments are thought provoking. The moderation is professional.

I notice now and then a few reddit style comments creeping in at the edges but I take my responsibility to downvote them seriously. (By reddit style comments I mean pointless joke, puns, "this", comment chain type stuff).
