I never trust censored forums (such as HN) on political or polemic debates. I remember when the first cases of COVID started in Wuhan. 4chan was full of videos of people being arrested en masse in China and mountains of bodies being dragged. Doctors who alerted people of the virus on WeChat were arrested. It was months before any official information of this came out. As much as uncensored spaces are full of stupid memes such as Qanon it's still a valuable source for suppressed news. I wish there was a place for good faith high quality evidence-based discussions that didn't fall prey to excessive ideological moderation but this may be mutually exclusive.
