This is very well said. I made a ton of online-only friends with whom I've since met up with over the years. These were enabled by old school phpBB forums, gaming clans, things like that. I don't feel that any personal connection is enabled by Reddit, or even HN for that matter.

Before forums bbs meetups were a great place meet like minded people. There were so few of us outside friends happened more.
