I mean... refusing to look at things you don't like or don't fit your narrative/content bubble is pretty much the reason Facebook exists. Stands to reason it applies to HN too.

- systemvoltage 5y agoI view being a contrarian as a positive thing for the society. Casting it in the light of FB's toxic culture feels like an insidious, contemptful and oppressive stance to take. Facebook/Twitter/Tiktok culture has nothing to do with "not fitting in the narrative". If you want the society fit in the narrative, you'll find that well exercised in oppressive regimes such as North Korea. For the most part, HN does a great job of criticism and opposing viewpoints when it comes to technical topics. But for political viewpoints, it is a cohesive, tightly bound and impenetrable monoculture primarily echoing Silicon Valley zeitgeist.
- dang 5y agoCould you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments? You've unfortunately done it a lot and we're trying for something else here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- maxehmookau 5y agoFair enough. It wasn't meant to come across as flamebaity but I can see how it might. Apologies.
- yashasolutions 5y agoI don't know if this was reason it existed, but last I have been on Facebook, I got to see mostly content I do not like nor want to see, between suggested dumb videos to ads for product I don't need... a pretty different experience than the one I have on HN
