I don't come to HN to read details in articles unless they actually contain new information, it's the commentary that's engaging. Comments that highlight or put into context information that's usually on dozens of news sites. Twitter is rife with highly timely good content.
As you mentioned the rules and moderation is key to civil discussion. HN has it, FB does not.

Eternal September[1] hasn't hit us here, and I also attribute that to HN's moderation policy. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
