It's on the healthier side, but it has some strange allergies. I used the term "boomer" once and the reply thread spiraled out of control and included someone suggesting that I was a Russian agent just for using that word. I think we can only really talk in comparitive terms rather than arrive at "yes, it's healthy". Anecdote: I saw a thread on Facebook a while back in reaction to news stories about fights that were breaking out on a cruise ship off of Australia. One of the commenters was posting horribly racists comments on the Facebook page of the very father of one of those involved. This particular doofus left so much personal information at default privacy settings that in about 5 minutes I knew his kids names. As an experiment, in 5 more minutes I knew what extracurricular activities they were involved in, when, and where. All based on what he left public. No black-hat doxxing shenanigans. Not exactly the kind of stuff I'd leave hanging out in the open if I'm going to make sweeping generalizations that an entire ethnicity of people are violent criminals. I closed it all. Walked away. Said nothing. So yeah, IMHO HN is a lot healthier than Facebook :)
