Well, HN is a social network with broadcasting features, and it's what allowed halbritt to reply to you.

- danans 7y ago> Well, HN is a social network with broadcasting features HN is pull actuated, not push. I have to register interest in topics by commenting before I get responses, and those responses are not part of the main feed. I have to go to my comments page to look for the responses. I don't get notified just because a particular user made a comment or post, because it is topic-centered, not user-centered. And even with all that, if HN ever rises to a level of routine toxicity that the moderation via community or moderators isn't keeping in check, I'll leave.
