They may not aim to replace those interactions but they definately eat in to what would otherwise be friend or family time for a lot of people. I personally find reddit too negative for my taste but HN strikes a good balance, on the whole I would probably be better off if i limited my time here.

But what if those friends and family that are immediately nearby don't share the same interest? Seems healthy(ish) to peruse the interactions that you find interesting/stimulating similar to reading a book/magazine or playing a video game.
