Note the extreme downvoting on the comment I'm replying to. HN has a strong left-wing bias.

Don't expect the views expressed on this site to be at all representative of the American public. I consider myself a center-left moderate (never voted for Trump). From my perspective this site is pretty close to being a far-left echo chamber.

FYI, as a center left from a European perspective that is a beautiful picture of just how right-leaning American politics is. The Democrats is such a big tent it contains pretty much the complete political spectrum in Europe, but for the actuall politics they have been doing, at least regarding economics (excluding identity politics) they are pretty solid right / center right from a European perspective.

I would probably argue the opposite, given that Y Combinator is a venture capital firm. This would be more true for Lobsters than here.

(Edit: to go further, it's like... ok, if HN is far-left, what does that make Bluesky? What does that make the Fediverse? It feels almost reductive to compress the range of HN onwards down to "far-left".)

		Discussion on this site has little to do with Y Combinator. You see people railing against big tech billionaires every day here. Bluesky is pretty close to being fellow travelers for the userbase here. If you do a comment search for "bluesky" you can see most comments are neutral or positive. HN might be a bit more genteel in how they discuss things, but there are many users here whose politics are pretty similar to what you find on bluesky.
