Following the reddit fiasco, I’ve been looking for other communities to get tech news from. I was active on HN a long time ago but it’s been a hot minute, and I left because the politics were pretty bad; lots of free speech maximalists who loved to just ask questions, especially about queer people.
Is it better now? Worse? Just different?
Somebody shared a blog post of mine on hackernews a few months ago, which got to the front-page. I participated in the comment section and as far as I can remember I had a lot of really interesting technical feedback. I did not notice any of the issue you’re mentioning, but there was nothing to censor or anything political about my post, and apart from this post, I do not frequently browse hackernews
