alt Hacker News> I don’t want to see HN becoming twitter
I find it's worse here now than X. Literally every discussion turns into meta and severely politicized. Certain topics you get flagged out by a mob for stating facts.
At least on X reply bots are not allowed anymore. Blue checks are useless tho.

HN has mostly turned into a reddit bis since 2023, with tons of topics that have absolutely nothing to do with startup, tech or programming but are directly taken from of r/news ... I'll take bots spamming fake projects over petty divise partisan politics.

Yep - and if you have an opinion on one particular side that isn’t favored here, it gets flagged.

I disagree, but in any case the easy solution in that case is to use X instead of HN.

In theory, maybe.
