>inherent in all social networks Yep. I've been using Fosstodon for a couple months. It's not much different from the others, except that the typical Fosster is at least as tech-focused as HN. Without room for 10-paragraph expositions. My daily surf starts with topical sites I know will pay off for me from experience. Later I'll quickly scan HN and various subReddit headlines for items of interest. Finally (time allowing) do I drop into xtodon to walk the seashore and see what the waves left. Some nice days I like to sit and people-watch. Social media's more like mind-watch. Like BBS's did, sometimes the waves leave some useful flotsam. Mostly it's kelp.
