Do not talk against the lefties or any vocal group you will be ok.
Because there is no 'disagree' people down vote.

1. Comments beginning with "I will probably be modded to oblivion for this, but ... " Where " ... " Is usually some schizo, racist shit. 2. Show HN-comments like "Why did you spend hundreds of hours building this useless hack when you could have contributed something useful to humanity instead?" 3. Terrible "in soviet russia" jokes and other slashdot-originated garbage.
As of yet, I've never downvoted someone for any other reason, but I'm tempted to start downvoting all those "hn mods are in a big communist conspiracy and are censoring the truth!" comments because proving paranoid people right seems like fun.
I prefer to keep all politics off of HN, because otherwise this will become another site where leftists pat other leftists on the back and no real discussion is permitted.
I really hate the attitude of "the downvotes prove me right". :-/
:) ok this was a joke ;)
Hacker News is for the most part a forum for pro-Capitalists interested in technology.
Me, I've been reading a lot of Mencius Moldbug lately, so my political ideas are going to be fairly abnormal. Discussing politics with me is going to be like discussing colors of a painting with a gentleman on DMT.
Oddly, it also seems that anyone who uses any of several terms for, well, "the sin of Onan," is likely to be hellbanned for it.
Someone could get at least one thesis in linguistics out of reverse engineering all of the undocumented HN pitfalls that lead to hellbanning of otherwise-legitimate users.
