> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

I didn't read his comment as saying that HN is turning into Reddit, just a bit of a joke about some people not minding or flexing the intensity of the "idle" state of their lab

(1) Are you missing some words in your sentence? I would understand your point if you said "don't post comments ** like that ** it makes HN feel like it is turning into Reddit **.

However I cannot understand how you extrapolated that I actually stated that Hacker News is turning into Reddit. That is factually and materially evident by my non-editable comment above.

I assume that you meant (1) and I can understand where you are coming from.

However we are just extremely into hosting our own servers and services. Some go to extremes, and there really are no places on the internet like /r/homelab and /r/homedatacenter , maybe only /r/selfhosted .
