You think HN is left ? Ha. HN is at best center-right.

Try posting anything right-wing, like government crime stats of black vs white people. You will get banned.

That's simply off-topic. Not sure why you would post that on Hacker News. Most things political simply get downvoted on that basis.

Racism = right wing? You mean alt-right?

If you think posting crime stats of all races is racism, you got brainwashed by a cult.

Well, the first comment accurately describes reddit AND it hasn't been downvoted to hell, so you might be right.

Reddit isn't far right, except some esoteric subs either. Reddit is generally fairly centrist-left for the most part.

Name any far-left position that's not widely supported on Reddit.

Good luck with that. Their moderation is too insane and not transparent for my taste. And, considering HN is quite far left, you won't create anything new really.

I think that just shows our different perceptions - I, too, see many HN posts as very left. Frequently seen in assumptions about values/ethics/morals...

Update: On further reflection, it is not HN that I am describing. It is the content of the posts that seem to lean that way...

I am outside both of the US parties, I think it is like being sober at a party of those partaking in alcohol. Different perception of the same situation.

It’s not the same but I’ve been using particle for genera news. It’s an algorithmic news aggregator, theoretically you can tune it for your preferences. I don’t use the commentary feature and there doesn’t appear to be a community yet.
