No offence, but you are arguing on HN, Reddit, Chan boards, /. now. Where is the difference? I did similarly but keep getting sucked into these communities simply because I'm alone in my head a lot of the time.

As mentioned below hacker news is a niche website, the dialogue here is much more intelligent than on Facebook.

For now I don't see talking on hacker news as stressful, but I definitely will stop using this site if it becomes so.

Hacker News is, and has been for years, extremely main-stream. Everyone who ever gets into coding ends up here to voice their biased opinions.

Discussion on HN and Reddit tends to be more thoughtful in my experience.

Yes, it's still just wasting time away but it can be somewhat more mentally stimulating than FB drama.
