This downtime made me realize (again) how much I appreciate the kind of interesting topics that show up here, the depth of discussion, and a general attitude of good faith that (most) engage with here.

I realized how little of this I find elsewhere in my life - whether through Reddit or even my IRL friend circles.

This realization saddens me - I feel like I shouldn’t have to rely on HN so much to scratch this particular itch.

Perhaps I need to get out more.

Another way to look at it is that you have a particular set of interests and HN is the online outlet that serves those interests. There's nothing wrong with that, at all and you don't need to have multiple sources for it. No different than someone who likes to ride bikes owning one bike, or someone who likes to read going to the same local library every week for 10 years.
