Ask HN: What are the less known HN-like forums?
With the rise of cancel culture and remotely offensive language being censored where can one go to find a community more tolerant of opposing views? Of course, I realize the moment the name of those communities are revealed, if any exist, they will be filled with people seeking to ban them.
I guess that makes this more of a meta-question, not a direct question. How can I learn about more open communities that may exist on the net where I can have the type of discussion with people that was possible 15-20 years ago?
Topics of interest: hacking (actual, not just in the name), startups, entrepreneurship, internet marketing.
- rhengles 6y agoI would guess Reddit is where I would start looking for it.
- catacombs 6y agoReddit is neither "less known" nor a good place to find a new general community, unless you have a niche interest.
- soheil 6y agoReddit is huge I’m sure great communities exist, but I’m not sure if that recommendation gets me any closer to an answer than just starting from the internet as a whole.

If you're itching to call someone the N or F word or want to brood about the sudden rise of feminism in America, may I suggest finding a pen pal and communicating that way?
- soheil 6y agoWow that seems awfully presumptuous!

I'm curious why you feel being able to use offensive language and express "opposing views" (whatever that means, I assume politics) is particularly germaine to high quality discussion of those topics. If all you're looking for is a place where you can be an edgelord without consequence then there's always /g/ and 8chan (on the dark web as 8kun,) and maybe Voat and Gab.
