My personal opinions:
- HN is generally favorable than many other websites, but only because those websites are hopelessly toxic.
- Voting system works well for filtering non-informative contents out, but it does prefer some kinds of informative contents than others.
- Conflicts in HN are not common, but once started they are hard to control. HN is not a good place for managing conflicts; it's only good for mild discussions and it has no effective measure to stop discussions from becoming conflicts.
- Of course there are many different opinions less represented in HN. Some of them can be considered as to an inherent bias of HN.
