actually I've been detecting a sharp increase in US rightwingness and nationalism comments on HN. I was wondering if it was just trolling or HN was now on some bot list or if there was a real change in sentiment in the US?
- wonderwonder 11mo agoI doubt there has been much change in numbers, those on the right are just willing to be a little more visible now. It helps that HN is for the most part an anon. site.
- kube-system 11mo agoThere is a real change in sentiment in the US. Note the last election results. But also there has been an increasing amount of polarization to both the left and the right from the center. Likely in part due to social media filter bubbles.
