Does HN count as "social"? It feels more like an Internet forum to me. I guess you're using your real name here, but you don't have to. I don't know anyone socially who I would expect to find on here.

I guess I wouldn't count it as "social" either but it's definitely "jacked in", maybe a little more so for me since I use my real name.

Agreed. I have switched usernames here over the years, and i don't miss any of it. It's hard to imagine someone having "closure" against HN.

Internet forums aren't social?
