We had like 1000s of threads about it for month maybe even years with rather "active" discussions and nothing was banned. If people don't engage with you or your theories it's either that they don't find it interesting or feasible or you are presenting it wrong. ie. the how is as important as the what.

The fun thing about claims about Hacker News opinion is that you can actually fact check it on Algolia. [0]

Most of it is either people saying that we can't know whether the lab leak is true or not and people who are claiming persecution on "Reddit/the Media/etc" because "they" are keeping the lab leak theory from being discussed.
