To be honest, I've lost faith in HN not being reddit like because I've seen the similar hive mind mass labeling of "wrongthink", specially when it came to covid policies, US/NATO warmongering, and advocating for what once was standard hacker culture around freedom and equality of individuals.

I expect you'd propose that this is still a place where we can have the civil discussions and should not get in these flame wars so I'll try it your way for a while and see how it goes.
