Yes but new posts are often closed as overly heated/off topic.

It is often one sided. As soon as you say something that doesn't fall into line, like against the monarchy, then you get censored.

Or anything crypto-related. The HN 'anti-crypto squad' will flag, downvote and censor anyone that talks about it or attempts to defend it.

On hacker news the overwhelmingly hardcore libertarian forum? I could see that. I don’t see a lot of progressive discussion here

The political views of HN vary wildly depending on both the subject and the thread.

People tend to notice either their own opinions or the opposite much more though.
