Is this website not a form of social media..?

  HN is just a forum really, there's not enough features to go beyond that.

    Interesting. I guess I take the term "social media" a little too literally. This is not a hill I'm willing to die on, though. You're most likely correct.

      It always depends on how you stretch the term indeed, HN has less features than most old-style phpbb forums so that sounds strange to count it as social media.

  As much as I've had my disagreements with dang and the team, they're doing a great job keeping this community together. If you steer clear of certain topics[1], this place is absolutely civil. [1]: Not the usual suspects and not what divides the rest of the world...
