Platforms 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.

- 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.
