That's not true in my experience, I have been able to discuss those things many times they came up and usually received upvotes (or at least more upvotes than downvotes).
Yes, that's anecdata, so make of it what you will.
- SamPatt 4y agoI was downvoted several times on HN for pointing out that reputable scientists were being censored on YouTube and other platforms for their dissident views on COVID. It happened here fairly often. Though less frequently here than most other places online during that time.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoUnfortunately, there is a strong element of groupthink present on HN that downvotes according to party line.
- forgetfreeman 4y agoThe irony of this comment being downvoted is palpable. Way to prove them right y'all.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoExcept that it's not downvoted now. Jumping to conclusions about early voting behavior on HN causes (mild) embarrasment to many, and so it is once again.
- forgetfreeman 4y ago"Things change over time" is hardly a profound observation.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoIt wasn't meant to be profound. It was meant to be correct. And it wasn't "things change over time".
