HN is an echo chamber too... it's inevitable in any community, online or not.

Agreed, nothing is perfect and all humans are biased. But at least the community is educated and diversified enough to avoid common blind spots.

This is precisely why I'm here. I hope HN always keeps it's simple format. It keeps a lot of the people who want a image based non-information heavy aggregator out. I come here to learn about cool or new techie things or discuss certain career topics in IT. I don't come here because I want to see the memeeconomy or some stupid "fake-news" article that is full of political garbage meant to make people upset.

I haven't observed this yet. At least in the comment sections I've participated in so far, there has been a healthy amount of disagreement. And it nearly always stays civil.

I've noticed with NYT being on here constantly and me or others being downvoted for disagreeing with the NYT.
What I worry is how the pandemic and awareness of misinformation could move people from that toxic demographic to here- but I trust in HN moderators and community to regulate this :)
