I am not sure what to make of the accusation that Hacker News is more and more a haven for alt-right. I certainly saw a shift to the (MAGA) right along the general maga-isation of the US right and I occasionally see unhinged comments of the type you probably can find on truth.social (why do I feel they should have called it TRUTH full caps, that'd be more like them ) but I feel like the moderation of the website works reasonably well at weeding out the unhinged and providing people with somewhat reasonable conversations (the ones with real bits of argumentation inside). They keep repeating the accusation but they don't provide any actionable demands to make things better. Even then not sure what the "administrators" could do about it. Saying that targeting individuals for how they want to live their lives is bad in the guidelines ? Would that make much of a difference ?
EDIT: I just check and of course they use full caps in their logo, I should have guessed
