I always find it interesting to see the disparity between comments here, and in /r/netsec on matters like this.
Here: Generally positive.
Netsec: Most upvoted comments being complaints and assertions that it's bad advice. And for some reason, upvoted comments about NSA involvement in curves (which is exactly what 25519 is not).
I've started moving away from reddit for any kind of actual discussion about technical topics. It's just so... Toxic.
I don't know if it's just my point of view changing, or if it's gotten worse over the last few years, but when I see a thread there later, the top comments are always negative, dismissive, and so full of bullshit.
Just look at the recent Lenovo issue, HN had some good discussion on on what could be the actual causes and how to fix some of these problems (and why MS isn't entirely off the hook there), but reddit was just full of "Microsoft loves Linux!" Jokes and whichunting with very little to go on.
Constructing an open-access forum such that the most highly rated comments actually have high levels of information and relevance is difficult at best. Probably impossible without some specific test / proof of competence in the area.
