There’s a big difference in Twitter and HN.

On Twitter, the filtering is done by you (mostly: you can’t choose what content is posted by those you follow, or the comments others post).

On HN, the filtering is done by others (mostly: you can filter by “Show HN”, “Ask HN”, new, etc.)

Twitter is like an RSS feed of specific people/companies/interests that you get to select and everyone’s is unique, where HN is a crowd curated — and dang moderated — list of links, and everyone sees the same list.

I don’t think HN is close at all to what Twitter is (for better and worse).

That's why I read HN via Serializer (disabled all other websites), because I don't really wanna curated HN homepage from certain brigades and I wanna choose what I read and what _I_ find interesting. You can also get your individual URL to share across devices, which I find very useful.
