<Meta Question/Observation about HN>
I've noticed that culture war type conversations have become completely normalized on HN after the COVID pandemic.
These kinds of discussions never change any minds and are just a toxic cesspit of online commentators arguing against each other.
Why hasn't HN considered limiting these kinds of conversations. Almost 2-3 times every week I notice some kind of topic like this arising on HN, and infecting other conversations on the platform.
Furthermore, I have notice significant traction from accounts created post-2020 on these kinds of discussions unlike other discussions on HN.
