HN is not social media. Social media has friends/followers, chats, inboxes, timelines... stuff like that. Social media involves some insularity. This is how so-called fake news spreads, because insular networks do not get outside feedback. .

The rep meter is what makes the difference. I've caught myself posting something only to spam f5 to see if what I was said was accepted or rejected.

Social media just needs the possibility to share media with other people to be called social media. So HN is social media.
