> Social media makes me feel bad, especially when I start my day with it. I will never touch TikTok because I think it's cancer for the human attention span. I deleted my Facebook a long time ago and never looked back. I don't give a shit about Instagram. I wish I didn't use Reddit, but am finding it increasingly cynical and tiresome.
Sorry to break it to you dude but HN is social media...
Not in the same way that most are. It doesn't (AFAIK) present different users with different information. All of us see the same front page, and so on.
HN doesn't depend on clickbait and attention harvesting, and the community does a pretty good job of self-policing toxicity, and not posting sensationalist and empty limbic tickling.
