One of the things I love abt HN is the difference of opinions. You can have a post that tells you all the great things abt A, then in the comments you hear why A is bad, but also there is C.
It is sad that internet trolls exist, but at the same time the internet is amazing bc trolls exist, or that they can exist. The ability for everyone to communicate freely brings out the best in humanity, but also the worst.
The same power that allows GitHub and Wikipedia to exist, and that ends oppressive government regimes in the world is the same power that allows neo-nazis to have the world hear their hate speech.
- Criticism123 10y ago>HN has diversity of opinions Keep telling yourself that, HN is an echo chamber. Diversity of opinion is shunned. Anything that does not fit the SJW narrative will be down voted to death like this very comment.
- EmanueleAina 10y agoArguably, SJ-related topics get their share of downvotes too. But yeah, I agree with you on the fact that HN is mostly an echo chamber. I'm just less sure that we're hearing the same echo. :)
