Yes, but it's just as easy to reject true things that people say because they violate preconceptions. We see at least as much of that as the other on HN. And don't forget that the site guidelines include "Assume good faith."

Right, I'm sure all of the repeditive HN frontpage content about facebook, tesla, shitcoin, etc is posted "in good faith" and not to accumulate fake internet points.

The mind reels at that subject leap! But sure, I think most articles are posted in good faith, and we gain more by assuming good faith than by not.

It's not only about which assumption models reality better—it's also about the change it makes in ourselves.
