I agree that biases in communities aren't inherently a free speech issue. I was just making an observation. It's human nature to assume your cultural assumptions are the norm, and it can be jarring when you're a part of a community that doesn't share some of them. But that by itself doesn't mean there's systematic oppression.
- danShumway 5y agoYeah, sorry. I'm not correcting anything you said, I agree with you. Just expanding. I think the way I wrote this it sounded more like an argument than I meant it to. There are spaces I'm a part of that consider HN to be basically Right-wing, and there are a few spaces I encounter that consider it to be Left-wing. It just comes down to what those communities consider to be normal, it's expected that different communities have different standards of what is and isn't objectionable to say.
