What exactly did you think HN was about? HN leans heavily to the left. I think it's best to just observe these types of topics, and only participate in the technical topics.

As a leftist who regularly gets flagged, downvoted, or mixed votes for even suggesting a vaguely leftist idea I'd say:

Hacker news does not skew left. Not right. It's simply not a monoculture and it tends to emphasize data first and foremost. Anything even remotely politically charged will draw out all sorts of arguments.

HN leans heavily towards a pro-capitalist perspective, not left-wing viewpoints.

Which makes sense as it was founded by venture capitalists and is essentially used as a vehicle to promote their ideology.

Free speech is a civic liberties issue often embraced by libertarians such as Elon Musk.
