HN hasn't change. It's always been this way since it first started. Even in the 90s, "censorship" like what we see today happened. The actions haven't changed.

HN hasn't change. It's always been this way since it first started. Even in the 90s, "censorship" like what we see today happened. The actions haven't changed. The scope is what is different. Instead of affected a few hundred people, it's now affecting hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions.
> internet hacker personalities I used to align with have turned so pro-censorship
I don't see that having changed. Obviously I don't know the specific people you are thinking of, but judging by your comment here and the timeline you are mentioning, I don't see much as change beyond scope.
Honestly, if people think people are becoming pro-censorship, I think it's more a case of ignoring everything that was happening before.
