> HN is social media.
Strongly disagree.
Social media is where one shares ones social life (it's in the name!). HN, like many other sites dating back to the days of USENET, is a subject discussion forum; in HN case, a technical / IT discussion forum.
Granted, there are sometimes crossovers between the two, but HN certainy isn't one of them.
- NathanielK 6y agoI still crave (you)s on HN. Even though HN has no notifications or inbox. I still check my threads frequently to see if anyone has replied to me. Maybe you are happy using throw-aways and shouting into the void, but I think that is a minority.
