>the system at Hacker News amplifies right wing politics and bigotry
I can't say I get that impression. You don't get any Trump is great kind of stuff and Musk gets slagged off. I suppose it depends on what you think is right wing.
There's plenty of "Trump is great" stuff on here. Things have quieted down a good bit since the election, as it's pretty much impossible to rationally justify Trumps course.
But before the election, discussions about e.g. Project 2025 were impossible, as the threads and comments would get piled on by Trump supporters using flags and lies.
