I think you're conflating social networks with social media
- LoganDark 9mo agoMaybe? When I see people talking about social media, they say stuff like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. It's not hard to extend that to say, Tumblr, which Cohost borrowed a lot from, for example. Though I will admit, I've never really heard of a Discord or Reddit "influencer"...
- direwolf20 9mo agoSocial network: talk to friends Social media: algorithmic feed
- LoganDark 9mo agoSo that would make Reddit social media, if I'm understanding correctly. I think not HN because everybody sees the same front page. I don't know if Discord is pushing personalized server suggestions yet.
- direwolf20 9mo agoHN is somewhere in the middle because the feed is shared instead of personalized, but it's still algorithmic and with global reach so I place it close to other social media.
