The quality of the posts in Reddit grew worse and worse. To the point that I stopped visiting it frequently and my use of hacker news grew and grew. Exactly the same thing is happening to hacker news. I guess as it's reverting to the mean.

There's still reasonable civil debate here. But recently I was surprised to be called a fascist for pointing out the Nazis were national socialists. The poster included comments like "don't engage with this person he's obviously x y and z." I'm starting to see this kind of nonsense more and more on hacker news.
