I'm not on social media for a reason, that kind of features is part of the reasons I stay away from them.
So no. If someone really wants to engage with me, they can leave a comment... that I will see or not.
- yesenadam 8y agoBut HN is social media, i.e. a website that would be/do nothing without other people on it also. (I hadn't really thought about that before seeing the books/talks of Clay Shirky, all excellent.)
- ctrlaltdev 8y agoI see your point. Let's say that my consumption of HN is not social media-y - I don't care about the people that post, it took me 3 days to see your answer because I was checking for answers on another thread, and my focus on HN is content, not people. I do understand what you mean. IMO, HN is closer to crowd sourced information than personal branding and personality cults that I see in 'social media' sites. But there I am, answering to your comment. I am dooooooomed.
