I'm convinced that procrastination is not the problem with social media - it is FOMO. In this regard social media are not all equal, there is a hierarchy. In this way hackernews as social media is nearly a misnomer, I am not being projected upon by the perfect life of a billion people, algorithmically picked by my insecurities.

HN feels like a traditional php forum with old reddit code.
