Better than those that are highly moderated. HN has very light moderation versus Reddit which has pretty heavy-handed moderation and Subreddits quickly turn into echo chambers. And even there the best Subreddits are those that are least-moderated. Edit - Twitter is also currently a cesspool of fake outrage and Islamic extremism somehow. Myself and almost everyone I know doesn't use it for that reason. Instagram and even TikTok are better platforms because of the lack of political censorship.
