Essentially saying that opinions you don't agree with make a website a shithole.

Not blaming you at all, but understand that's why many people feel like Twitter is a shithole.

For some it's just opinions; text on a wall. For others those opinions have a major impact on their lives. It's with them everywhere they go.

These are not the same.

Text on a wall should not have a major impact on your life unless you're already incredibly privileged.

There are a lot of people out there with real problems -- approximately none of them give a shit about hacker news.

You missed the point. That text on the wall has a major impact on people because that text on the wall turns into policy. Turns into laws. Turns into dictation on life.
