As there is no second equivalent social network that friends and family already use with a strong privacy focus so no wonder that you see no such behaviour.

As a hacker news member we are first movers. Privacy concerns become bigger with scale. When we join a service we have a choice and we see no privacy issue. OTOH at the scale when privacy becomes an issue there is no longer a choice.

Pair that with the need to grow the user base for investors above all other metrics.

Yesterday afternoon I had a beer with a neighbour and some of his friends while sitting in the sun.

‘Social network’ doesn’t have to mean internet based.
