I'm very curious about the cross connections between two very early adopting communities.
Please only vote if you are really active on both.

So only vote if you are going to say yes?

#5The key to making reddit a bearable experience, and I think most people on HN will agree with this, is honing into specific subreddits that you believe are worth participating in and using them exclusive to the rest of the site. For me it's askhistorians, a relatively small community with ruthless moderation that stomps quickly and decisively on anything that isn't properly cited and maintains a healthy base of experts.

And what is "Use other" supposed to mean? Other what?

Same here. Reddit is television that I can consume on the toilet (note to self - never use the words "consume on the toilet" again). Does it help me? Not really. Does it demand my active participation? Nope. Is it entertaining? Certainly. It's no different than the hundreds of hours of Russian dash cam videos of wacky car accidents.
Do I view reddit? Yes. Do I participate in reddit? I used to, until I realized that participating lowered my perceived value of the entertainment.

I think maybe they mean "please vote only if you're active on HN".

When I was in primary school they sent the kids home with a questionnaire to let the students' parents vote on some rule changes. They options were "Yes", "No" and "I choose to have my vote count with the majority"
To this day I'm convinced that was their way of covertly stacking the deck in whatever direction they saw fit.

#10I don't comment much on HN that much.
I was here before I found reddit 2 years ago I just never made an account until I wanted to promote my project
