Twitter clones tend to be a lot more bubble-like because they kind of try to seem like a "town square" but actually and up being more like a North Korean town square. Or a square in a gated community. HN obviously is its own area like a subreddit. That is what I like about this place. Minimalist in scope and tech, no endless financial growth pressure as a project.
