And we found the mandatory “I’m not on social media” comment on the social media platform. There’s at least one on every post on the subject.
Literal definition:
websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
- kzrdude 3y agoPlatforms like Twitter and Facebook put the network in the center - it's about relationships between accounts (Friend/Follower). HN doesn't do that, so HN is a forum which is a slightly different genre of medium, isn't it? At least a kind that I'm much more in favour of.
- nkingsy 3y agoI get value from it, but it still gives me the social high from interacting, plus a big multiplier added with voting.
- hk__2 3y ago> Platforms like Twitter and Facebook put the network in the center - it's about relationships between accounts (Friend/Follower) At the beginning yes, but nowadays that’s less the case. Twitter’s "For You" is the default view and it contains popular content that have little to do with who you’re following. TikTok/Instagram behave in the same way, showing you a mix of stuff from people you follow (but not everything) and from other sources. I’m not been on Facebook recently, but I believe they do the same.
- mmastrac 3y agoYour snarky reply is not appreciated. I specifically said "cut my social media addiction" not "cut out social media". While Hacker News is a great time sink full of wonderful people, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I do on other platforms (and often go long swaths of time without commenting).
