Ask HN: Is Sharing HN Threads on Facebook, Twitter and Reddit Advisable?
Sometimes I see threads that I think might be interesting to a large group of my friends on Facebook or even just to get an outside opinion from regular internet users (I take the HN crowd is mostly technical). My only concern is that at the same time, I don't think they are the typical HN crowd. They like trolling and stuff so I generally don't share to avoid dilution in the HN community.
Do you guys ever face such conundrums or it's just me?
- Kevin_S 10y agoI don't have as many friends on FB/Twitter that would be interested in this stuff, but I do share threads with my brother/close friends that would be of interest to them. I think while the bulk of HN is technical, many here are just simply interested in tech like myself. I'm a financial consultant, so not too terribly far off the mark, and while I don't comment often at all, I imagine there is a solid group of non-technical readers that are participating in discussions. Overall I just find myself keeping HN off my other social media because 99% of my FB/Twitter friends have essentially no interest in the topics discussed here.
