HN let's you choose what order (active, new, top[actual algorithm])

That's not true of Facebook, new does not show you true posts in order of recency.

Reddit still does, bit also injects ads that look like recent posts and actually aren't which is misleading.

And HN doesn't choose to show you targeted, inflammatory content based on your history. That's a huge difference from Facebook.
