I don’t consider an anonymous link aggregator with a forum bolted on top to be social media. To the best of my knowledge I’ve never read a comment from the same person (assuming they are people and not bots) in more than one post. Strangers passing in a pitch black room a single time is hardly social.

You are describing Reddit.


I don’t consider Reddit to be social either.


The bureaucrats deciding on your visa just want sources for doing a colonoscopy on your opinions. If they say HN is social media, what are you going to do?


I'll tell them my HN comments are all set to "public"
