On: Ask HN: How do I develop focus?

[nont]

HN for me is also a form of social media, especially if you find yourself checking it all the time.

HN is absolutely social media. Reddit and message boards, too. If you’re on a website socializing with other people or consuming socially-generated content from others, it’s social media.

Yeah it's always hilarious to me when conversations on here will talk about the effects of social media while clearly not intending to include HN.

Just because we have a socially enforced style guide and no infinite scroll doesn't mean it's not social media.

It definite is for me, I think what's helped is forcing myself to read the article before I go the comments. At least some learning is happening.
