You'll find subsections of anything on any platform. This is a famous controversial person writing about a controversial topic. It will bring the worst of the worst. Even this site goes crazy whenever there's a thread on Twitter or Musk. Although more tame since here's an actual mod.
- threeseed 4y ago> You'll find subsections of anything on any platform No you don't as HN clearly shows. There are plenty of examples where when you have active moderation and the site sets the tone for discourse the quality of the discussions improves.
- suddenclarity 4y agoAs I stated, you'll still find low quality content and comments on HN with name calling and terrible takes when a thread is slightly political. It's not a platform issue. It's a popularity and subject issue. Allow 10 friends to talk about flowers and it will go great. Invite 1 million strangers to talk about politics and it will degrade within minutes. The issue there isn't solved through subjective moderation.
