err...
- bradenb 7y agoWhat confuses you about what I said? “Not being reddit” and “not being elitist” are not mutually exclusive. EDIT: I think it's clear nothing more needs to be said. Feel free to respond to this comment or not. I've said my piece.
- normalhuman 7y agoCome on now, don't be disingenuous. Of course they are mutually exclusive, because you mean "not being reddit" as in "we are better than reddit" -- an elitist stance.
- bradenb 7y agoI said I was done but I have to respond to this. Reddit prides itself on tangents and bickering and jokes. It’s great. I love Reddit. But I come to HN for focused technical discussion. I don’t believe one is inherently better than the other. Therefore, I believe it is not mutually exclusive.
