		swiley on Aug 11, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why our outdated brains are making us unhappy The /only/ reason I still have a hackernews account after abandoning my other accounts is because it's one of the only sites that seems aware of this. I'm especially fond of the noprocrast feature. I don't know of any other site/app that will kick their users out if they use it for too long.

Providing a feature designed to make you use a product less is the antithesis of what the major social media sites do. Really inspires confidence in HN's motivations being pure.
