From the Hacker News Guidelines: [1]

"If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)"

I just checked, and your account is exactly one year old, so you may submit comments saying HN is turning into Reddit, if you would like.

I left reddit for HN a year ago (yes, I'm a late adopter in this regard), and believe me: HN is no reddit.

There was a discussion recently by a number of long-time accounts on how this seems to actually be coming to pass, and that the quality of submissions hitting the front page has clearly decreased. I can't say I disagree.

That said, I'm just as annoyed as the next guy at the inefficiency that the IRS seems to be trying to foist into the economy to help them raise revenues.
