Hacker News Reader

Are we using the same HN? There is a clear anti-Trump sentiment in every one of the dozen-or-so threads on the subject every day. Almost every pro-DOGE comment is downvoted. Are you seeing something different, or are you just upset that people who disagree are allowed to participate at all?

Maybe it's just been the threads I've happened to end up reading? The overall tone of the place feels different. And that's okay.

Maybe HN has changed. Maybe I have. Maybe both. That's okay - places and people change. I think I'm just disillusioned with the tech industry in general after working in it for 15 years, so that probably changes the way I see HN, too.

That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, though. Or me. In fairness, I do still see plenty of good on HN. Maybe I just need to take a month away from the internet, and computers, and maybe even electricity :).
