Social network: talk to friends
replySocial media: algorithmic feed
So that would make Reddit social media, if I'm understanding correctly. I think not HN because everybody sees the same front page. I don't know if Discord is pushing personalized server suggestions yet.
replyHN is somewhere in the middle because the feed is shared instead of personalized, but it's still algorithmic and with global reach so I place it close to other social media.
