Given how much flak Brave (and by extension Eich) gets on HN, it's somewhat ironic that you identify his departure as the moment when Mozilla abandoned its traditional values.


HN is obviously, by its very nature, representative primarily of silicon valley.


Much less so than 10 years ago, when 2/3rds of the posts were about either combination itself or companies taking part in the accelerator.

This is VASTKY more popular and diverse now.


Diverse in nationalities and backgrounds, yes. Diverse in viewpoints, not so much.

The Overton window is quite narrow on HN, and I have the distinct impression it is narrowing further. Though I do admit that within that window, discourse is very lively, to the extent that a casual observer can easily be fooled into believing this is a place for free exchange of ideas.

How do you measure diversity on HN?


Looking at the amount of traffic coming from Non-US IPs would be a start. It was incredibly US centric back in the day.


Erm, diversity is a lot more than just geolocation
