Quora has extremely intelligent people with a huge variety of experience in all matters. This question looks like broad experience would help to answer it, which is why I recommend it. Just make an account and ask the question anonymously, you will get a great answer
IMO this should be your strategy - this company is shit so you have nothing to lose. More importantly, your efforts alone won't make much of an impact in the long run (and if they do, you have no equity and you hate the company, so who cares). So take shitloads of risks at work trying to understand how to be a leader/get better at socializing. Keep the actual work light so you can spend time outside of work actively looking for other companies, working on side projects - exploring your options. I guess the overarching theme is - if your efforts there are wasted, put less effort into it. You can spend very little time actually doing work and use it as a way to pay the bills while you explore your options.
It would be more precise to say that Quora is for questions and HN isn't really.
HN is a link site with an "Ask" feature tacked on. "Ask HN" posts are actually penalized in the overall rankings, so it's relatively hard for them to get seen by many people. That's not to say that they're unwelcome, but it's just not a conducive environment for many questions.
Quora, on the other hand, is a question and answer site. Q&A is their bread and butter. That's what people go there for.
