I think the disctintion should be:
Is the person (their face, their personality) more important, or the content of what they say is more important?
HN falls much closer to the "content" end of the spectrum.
- vundercind 3y agoYeah, there are lots of other little aspects that push something closer to or farther from being the kind of thing we usual mean by “social media” (“so it’s a fuzzy category?” yes, like approximately all other categories and labels). Downplaying personal or account identity (which HN does to a more extreme degree than even most forums et c) definitely counts as moving something toward the “not social media” side.
