That's been my primary motivator behind "I read it online/on a forum," vs "I read it on news DOT why combinator DOT com."
The other reason is that I'd prefer not to navigate the conversation toward "why I'm on a website with 'Hacker' in the name." That's a separate issue for which I am ill-equipped to discuss, given the mainstream connotation.

I find Hackernews is where you come for a less political, more logical set of opinions on different articles. The nerdier version of reddit.
