Posted on HN, QED.
- feet 4y agoI've also quit all social media besides HN. At least I can try and tell myself that HN is more stimulating intellectually, it's my one dirty little digital habit I have left
- autotune 4y agoHN is just a last crutch for me after leaving reddit at this point. I prefer it because upvotes and downvotes are anonymous except for your own when it comes to comments, so there isn’t as much of a dopamine hit after posting when you really think about it.
- pram 4y agoThis kind of pedantry is exactly what keeps me coming back for more!
- ngoilapites 4y agoYou better write longer, more informative paragraphs LOL
- bavell 4y agoDo you consider forums "social media"?
- deafpolygon 4y agoI don't consider forums social media. To me, HN is more of a forum. A social media's primary goal is engagement - to keep you coming back for more, to keep you scrolling. And the content reflects that. A forum's primary goal is discourse. Reddit straddles that weird space in between.
