- forensic 16y agoGroupthink is a well known pitfall of any group. But not all groups engage in groupthink. Organizational psychologists talk about ways to reduce and/or avoid groupthink in an organization or community. If you believe that Hacker News is suffering from groupthink, you should present evidence of that, and then the community could take action to try and reduce it. Personally I don't see it. I strongly doubt anyone is deleting people off their twitter based on this submission.
