I suspect if there is such a place, they would not divulge its location on Hacker News.

The interesting thing is there are technology intersections, like drones, radio, etc.

Discussion here are always interesting in that interesting forms of libertarianism come through, some discussions even what would be moderate positions on things like homelessness get attacked, etc.

The question and responses are certainly interesting.

An example where a discussion can be neutral but go very left or right - off grid living, homesteading, etc - off gridder or prepper? Same topic in many discussions, but different flavor of discussion.

I'm having a hard time parsing what a "conservative" discussion of these topics would mean though. Like the left right now, the right doesn't really seem to have a coherent take on these technologies, except maybe some hostility to those who run the companies that make them. It's a grab bag of techno-libertarians, leftover neocons, traditionalists, and some statists. None of these people agree on much of anything anymore.

So, insofar as there's any interesting discussion to be had at all it would just be a mirror version of the left's own infighting on these topics.

I assume you mention this because you'd think it interesting to see less libertarianism leak through in the discussion. I'll admit, yeah, that does sound like an idea I haven't really explored too much.
