I think by “like that” the person probably meant Reddit is filled with petite tyrants who cannot tolerate other people’s viewpoints. It wouldn’t surprise me if they call people who like Liquid Glass fascists.

that's a lot of words to say "reddit mod"

I don’t think it makes sense to blame mods, rather the design and business model. HN has stiff moderation (thanks Dan g), but doesn’t suffer the same fate. Reddit rewards hysterical posts and attracts hysterical people and bans carry much more weight. HN isn’t designed to attract a huge user base, Reddit is.
