Any community is going to be an echo chamber around something. HN is generally a "tech is good" camp, given that we're all in tech. We might recognize boundaries and nuance in there, but most HNers generally believe tech solves problems (myself included). The concern imo is when a network, say your Facebook friends, ends up becoming a secret echo chamber without understanding it. Instead of realizing you are engaging in a biased group you assume you have a representative sampling and that people who disagree with you are the outliers.

Not to nitpick, but I’d argue HN is more of in the ‘tech is good - when it’s good’ camp. I definitely perceive a sense of gearing towards a more ethical and responsible growth or use of technology, and that’s part of what makes me keep coming back here every day. Totally just my own anecdotal observations, however.

  HN is more worship of entreprenuership with a focus on tech.
