Hacker News is social media too.
Tough for people to look in the mirror.
- sarcasmatwork 7y agoimho, its not.., myspace, facebook, instagram are.. This is a news aggregator. I dont use any other part of YT, just the news section.
- askafriend 7y agoIt's social media. It's not a news aggregator. People post things they want to talk about. It just happens to be largely links (but not always; for example AskHN). Let's do a quick test. Do you consider Reddit to be social media? How about Twitter? If you do, then so is Hacker News. Just because you it happens to be a social media site that you personally like doesn't mean it gets to be in a different category that you consider more holy. Or just because there's no photos or because there's fewer features, doesn't mean it's not social media.
