I disagree with the often stated claim that HN is social media! To me, HN is more like an online forum. IMHO for a service to be defined as Social Media it needs to at least have a 'social graph' of some kind. HN has never suggested an account to follow, or tried to suggest trending posts or topics to me. Yes, HN does have a voting system. But that to me doesn't make it social media. HN posts are not measured and promoted based on engagement.
