Bubbles don't need to be harmful. HN is a bubble. There are ideas that are not allowed here. There are other ideas that are explicitly promoted. This is the value proposition of HN. You are free to go elsewhere to get other perspectives or interactions. This is as it should be.

- mulmen 4y agoI’m not striving for groupthink. I’m seeking out a trusted (collective) voice.
- themitigating 4y agoIt depends on what the bubble is about. If it's for a specific anime who cares but politics is a bubble whose influence exits the bubble
- mulmen 4y agoHonestly I have no interest in discussing politics. It’s the social media of conversation. I prefer to talk to people about what interests them. Sometimes it is interesting. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes I agree with them. Sometimes I don’t. With most people all four are true. I form my own opinions from there. They change frequently. I vote based on my best current mental model.

- spoonjim 4y agoThere are definitely ideas that are not allowed here.
- superturkey650 4y agoI can't think of any non-rulebreaking comments that would get you banned just for expressing a distasteful idea. Can you give some examples?
- mulmen 4y agoThe ideas that break the rules.
- superturkey650 4y agoThere aren't any ideas that break the rules though. Just structure, tone, and context of comments/posts.

- coldtea 4y agoTrying expressing certain looked down upon ideas politely and with a good structure, gentle tone, and within context, and see how far you go...
- NERD_ALERT 4y ago“non-rulebreaking” implies that there are rules stating that certain ideas are not allowed.
- somewhereoutth 4y agoSome ideas are objectively sick regardless of the forum.
