HN definitely step above reddit.

reddit mess of angry people and rage bait articles. every other post on /r/popular is hate towards non-progressive/us conservative or something about lgbt/trans or black americans.

agree people marginalized and society should fix. but they view only they exact position is acceptable and nothing else to be tolerated. No nuance discussion. honestly every other post someone complaining about something.

reddit like dirty water pond on internet.

personally think HN overall good productive discussion on many topic. do not see it shifting into reddit.

I think that's mostly down to topic selection and harsher moderating. Threads on slightly controversial topics also gets sidetracked here. Look at anything related to Musk and people will come quite close to breaking the rules when hating on him.
