> I generally dislike the culture there, it's almost impossible to read any of the comments without being frustrated about the industry I work in or am adjacent to and some of the people who inhabit it; From time to time I read (unsubstantiated) comments like that line from this post but I really fail to understand what are the expectations. The only "culture" I see in HN are the guidelines, sort of a constitution in order to avoid problems that appear on other platforms. What's wrong with that ? Of course you are going to find people you don't agree with for many reasons just like... in the real world. Now if you're talking about the demographics, well sure, a lot of people working with computers, but that's only a homogeneous population depending on the level you are looking at it. This is where I fail to understand the expectations. I don't come to HN to be part of a homogeneous culture of people who think like me and validate me, I come here to read the wide variety of (substantiated) takes and learn about cool stuff.
