I can tolerate HN's political stance because it fits into a predictable larger story. American tech company is obviously going to be very pro certain topics and against others. That's predictable and reliable. The subreddit tyranny of anonymous moderators and punishingly overwrought hivemind is a less pleasant experience. Combine that with more extreme content in general than HN and it feels fundamentally less trustworthy and more manipulative.
