The toxicity on HN is a strange combination of vitriol and superiority complex. I can't really think of many other forums that spew such hatred while morally grandstanding to such an extent.



On the contrary, my experience from other forums is worse. HN audience tends to downvote simple grandstanding and demands sources etc.

A paradise of moral paladins seems to be Twitter, deliberately designed to stoke tensions and dissuade people from reasoning.
