What:s the difference between reddit and HN beyond the form?
It seems to be obviously social media to me
- direwolf20 9mo agoThe content is also different. Reddit uses AI agents to populate feeds to generate user engagement.
- cons0le 9mo agoThe main difference is no personalized algorithm ranking content to increase engagement. The algorithm has consumed reels/shorts/tiktok/insta. Being extremely inflammatory is rewarded there.
- BbzzbB 9mo agoAlgorithms don't define social medias, it's just the latest iteration from the main ones. Is BeReal not a social media because there's no algorithmic feed?
- dooglius 9mo agoThe lack of subreddits is a big difference because it inhibits users coagulating into subgroups. Reddit also allows people to be banned from subreddits by subreddit owners/mods which leads to groupthink more.
- BbzzbB 9mo agoHN is one large subreddit with it's own groupthink.
