An open forum like Hacker News is taken care of such that opinions that go against the narrative on sensible topics like: covid, elections, inflation, crypto get massive downvotes and even more, there are task-forces that handle discussion and form opinion to give impression that a majority of people are woke :)
Dang should intervene IMO, he does such a fantastic job on other topics. When opinion is controversial but based in good reasoning, he should step in and foster those opinions. At the very least, disable flagging them.
I’ve lost interest in HN because there are no new things I can learn. It’s the same anti-car thread after anti-car thread.
