    Hacker News has bad neolib politics but good range of interesting old and new tech content. I'd honestly say the hive mind is very very weak and you'll find people arguing over literally everything in long form and well thought out arguments.

      Show HN: A piece of software I spent months building.

      Top comment: I don't know how you can expect anybody to take your software seriously when your website doesn't work with JavaScript off.

      n-gate is a good introduction to Hacker News politics. Just don’t mention it on Hacker News.

        A webshit tries to fix more problems with money. Hackernews doesn't really understand what the hell this is about, but since javascript and money are the only problem-solving tools Hackernews has any faith in, they're very excited by whatever this is.

        I read HN a lot because I hate myself and I hate it. I'm so glad to see this because without fail HN is full of the worst takes ever

          even when I was fairly lib I could tell their politics were awful when they were doing the whole "migrants should die in the Mediterranean bc think of the Economy of the country they are going to"

        Wow, n-gate doesn't even support TLS in 2020. Also it didn't look very good when I browsed it with Plasma Mobile. I can't believe that someone would capitulate to Big Tech like this.

      Hacker news is probably the most toxic website I've ever used. Every person to every comment there has a giant stick up their ass.

      Also, it's literally a forum run by a venture capital group, so no, they're not open to radicalization.

      Remember to push unions and co-ops in the comments of HN stories whenever you see a chance. They're relatively open to radicalization on that front, and they all work in industries that are important for organization purposes.
