As I said below, hn bans contrarians to curate consensus in the interest of harmony above reality, openness or the achievement of human potential.
Thus i love the contrarian take.
I also love that you can switch the default analysis from the story to the comments.
I think this is a good use of ai. Using ai a a creative crutch is dehumanizing like all division of labor as Adam Smith described in his magnum opus was a major problem with capitalism. As we see.
However, as it is wise enough to browse the covers of magazines, but skip the detail inside, so too it's it sufficient and better for the mind, body, and soul to merely browse what happened than the radioactive details from the brainwashed miscreants inside.
I can't wait for what happened IN THE WORLD!!!
that green bar is not a coincidence in a codified echo chamber.
Almost no one is allowed to disagree with the consensus here and then only in a particular way. Some dissent is outright banned.
Like for example, try suggesting any of the following ideas: Trump is misunderstood, feminism is bad for women, mrna shots aren't vaccines, vc increases pain, suffering and failure, etc.
No discussion like that, among countless other ideas will get your account immediately shadow banned.
So it appears that there's consensus about what "truth" is, as proven now by what happened's green and red bars, but in reality contrarians are forced to lurk.
And what I just said only touches the surface of the many significant issues with this community.
Go deeper and you find some sinister tactics being used to control the narrative.
Good luck seeing this post. I know it was a waste of time to write it.
If I had to guess, you likely have some heavy premises that blind you from engaging with the content of a post. I'm not going to pretend there isn't some truth in your premises, however I would imagine there would be "many significant issues with [any] community" if we all operated this carelessly.
I recently released https://trackernews.app/browse which surfaces out and groups content from hn, reddit .. for user defined topics and extracts user defined structured data along with summaries.
a tangential take on similar problem with focus on grouping posts by topics.
would love to get any feedback on the UX/ understandability of the interface
But I really like the output.
* contrarian_view: * Look for the most upvoted comment that DISAGREES with the article's premise or the majority sentiment * This is the "steelman" of the opposing view - the most compelling counter-argument * If no significant contrarian view exists, set has_contrarian to false * Focus on constructive disagreement, not flame wars
“ Contrarian View(highly upvoted) Many argued the attack was a highly targeted, lawful military operation against Hezbollah's command, achieving military goals with remarkably low civilian harm compared to conventional warfare.”
What a sad world we live in. This site really is a cesspool of American fascism, and the community is not doing enough to take a stance against that

Was hoping for a way to filter on "technical", for when I need my dose of hacking and technology. (Filter on category could also help, but I assume there are many technical categories.)
And maybe reverse sort, for when I'm tired of controversy.
Gg otherwise!
