Social media.
What's the use of "reading" anymore? It's not like it's hard for us outsiders to spot why your general political and social environment in the US is going haywire.
- saagarjha 2y agoGuess what kind of site you're on
- ArnoVW 2y agoYou’re not wrong. But have you considered the difference between mainstream social media (video postings of 15-30 seconds) with HN (share a complex or long article, then have a text debate about it, using sophisticated English)
- saagarjha 2y agoYour opinion of Hacker News is too favorable
- ArnoVW 2y agoI’m just comparing with Facebook, Instagram and the likes. Admittedly that is a low bar, but compared to them you’ll pick up more on HN. Because we were talking about the linguistic level, not just the informative level. Not much text on FB or IG, except for the captions perhaps.
