Well, that's a straight out lie! :)

You are 100% correct but HN mods will pretend this is not the case. This site is heavily moderated just like all major subreddits. Dissenting opinion will be silenced either by gang-flagging or dang taking action personally. HN is reddit in a tie.
This website has been an echo chamber for a while now. It's exactly like any other sub on reddit with dang almighty deciding what's cool and what's not as a typical reddit mod does.

Like I said, dang's just a HN's incarnation of a reddit mod. Set your expectations accordingly.

Not sure how much experience you have with HN but this is practically dang's fiefdom. He's just a clone of a typical reddit mod. Agree with me or GTFO
