Don't worry Darawk, I was agreeing with you. I even posted video evidence of how those people live and how they destroy communities due to their particular cultural habbits. But the growing left leaning part of the HN hive-mind started the downvoting and I realized it's just not worth it, I deleted it and just left "wow HN". I've been on here for over 7 years (registered 5 years), I remember when the front page was literally linux code snippet links, nerd chat, and startup dreams and non of this political diarrhea / white savoir nonsense. I remember Reddit when it was just 1 Reddit (no subreddits), and I remember browsing Digg starting from the very 1st page. And I've seen the same pattern over and over all across tech/news websites: Like Digg, Mashable, and so many subReddits, HN too over time has become...well... "wonderful and totally tolerant of non non-left-wing views" and "is totally not a hive-mind, not at all, I swear". I'm an independent, neither left nor right. So it's annoying to see this happen over and over and over.

It got so annoying I started taking screenshots of the front page when it first started years ago. Before the new mods, before Altman took over Ycombinator, before the new algorithms, as proof of increasing left-leaning articles that have nothing to do with tech or startups. I should dig up the evidence and release it someday. I ran from the propaganda of conservatism and Fox News from the exposure to it in my teens with the other "Generation-4-Chaners/Anonymous" and now find I'm having to escape liberalism. What happens when there's no place left to go?

I think i'm done with this community. I left Digg for Reddit, Reddit for Mashable and TechCrunch, left those for HN, and now I see no point. There was a time when there were "Show HN" submissions all over the front page. Now they are far and few in between. Tech hangouts all turn into Huffingpost eventually. HN was a sort of last bastion due to the algorithm changes every now and then but it's starting to creep back. The Fall of HN is often laughed at, denied, and explained away using cherry picked evidence. It isn't until you flash a screenshot of HN 7 years ago and compare the headlines that the shock hits you. And each time someone brings this up someone who's also a long term member explains it away. It's useless.

Did you see what happened to Paul Graham when he published his articles on Inequality, Women, and the Problem with foreign accents in startups. All of his articles were honest and accurate and based on the reality of things, and immediately he was attacked by left leaning media. When he stepped down and replaced himself with Sam Altman he was asked about the attacks and he specifically said and I quote "that part I won't miss".

Saving a community on the decline means saving the people who made it decline. What's the point? Let them suffer in their own stench.
