Why do you think "pitchforks" are on or should be on Reddit? That's a very odd thing to say on Hacker News. And if you don't like Reddit, just don't go there!
At no point did I say anything _should_ be on Reddit - I have no influence or say over what goes on on Reddit, but if you take a look through many recent posts, you will find massive amounts of mob mentality. Thankfully this kind of behaviour is much less common on hn and the community is generally much more open to discussion. I would love for this to continue to be so.
