My bet is HN will downvote this post because HN fights hard to "conserve" against alternate viewpoints such as those of the author


I've found HN to be a mixed bag. Mostly liberal, but not always. Biggest thing is to keep your argument well written and reasoned.

Unlike reddit where people are in a cult mindset. Anything remotely against the grain will get dozens of downvotes in seconds. Outright lies by the left get thousands of upvotes. Want 5,000 points? Just bash Trump in world news.


It depends entirely on who shows up first, because top posts tend to dominate a thread regardless of their quality. I've seen plenty of 'liberal' topics get burned to the ground here because the other side is triggered or wants to brigade or do damage control for someone.

>Want 5,000 points? Just bash Trump in world news.

I bash Trump all the time - and i just get downvoted and flagged. I've seen plenty of what you would probably consider 'lies from the left' treated the same way. It's all relative.


hope I don't owe you money - it got flagged - sigh


For what it’s worth I think you’ve been completely reasonable and engaged in productive discussion.
