Yes, HN has something of a COVID-19 denialism streak.
- dang 4y agoHN is divided on topics where society at large is divided. It would be strange if it weren't. It's also a highly international forum and divisive topics play very differently in different places. Readers often mistake a comment for something weird and radical coming from a person nearby, when in fact it's an unremarkable comment coming from a person far away. It's unfortunate that this leads to so many brutal online arguments. In person, people instinctively modulate their communication with respect to such variables; online they don't, because the information isn't available and we can't make it available. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098
