Thank you for mentioning that. I was just about to say that I quit all social media EXCEPT for HN.

And sometimes I am faced with the same negative effects as I was on larger platforms. For example posts or comments about salary or revenue will make me worry about my own financial future. Or technical posts will scratch on my self esteem when a lot of expertise is involved.

I think what makes HN feel different to its community is the fact that it is well moderated niche community that can look like heaven at first.
