Coming from the perspective of someone with no social media presence: What does social media provide in terms of tech-related news that HN, lobsters, and slashdot do not?

Sorry for being unclear.

Social media acts like a news aggregator.

You get to choose what to focus on, say news related to ReactJS (so you’d follow the official account + the people working on it to get a better of perspective).

Oh OK! Hmm, I think I remember some sort of online services that allow you to monitor news sources for keywords you're interested in. Almost like RSS with regex...
