You don't get it, or are not following through. The thread started with why a Conservative wouldn't post here. It's simple, it's not worth getting comments downvoted or flagged for having an unpopular opinion [not nationally but here].
You will say it's not a reasonable opinion, it's hate or fear and should be downvoted/flagged, but that is incorrect and exactly what leads to echo chambers. Which is ironic because HN is usually very pro-speech/thought... or used to be.
- Capricorn2481 1mo agoI can assure you plenty of conservative views get shared on HN, all the time. Saying otherwise means you must not be on here much. It's just that defending the current administration, at this state, does take a level of bad faith that people on all sides of the political spectrum are sick of hearing. To imply it's only hardcore liberals flagging these comments is wishful thinking
- wallst07 1mo ago"defending the current administration, at this state, does take a level of bad faith" So every topic regarding current administration is a bad faith argument on the proponent side? Or just this one?
