It's about time now to declare the "social media" experiment dead. We're basically learning that there is value in excluding. The all inclusive buffet only brings you down to a neutered lowest common denominator. You're not really going to get any real thought or discussion when you're conversation is monitored by outside moderators. It was doomed to fail anyway.

Do you consider this failure to include this social media site, “Hacker News”?

If you start posting substantive points arguing against socialism / big government you get warned. If you argue about the warning you get banned.

YC is not really any better and the main mod is a self-admitted (although he took it down now) far leftist.

One time I found all the UBI threads and every flagged / mod warned post was someone arguing against UBI (that’s apparent a flame war), but endless idealistic rambling about how great it would be was totally fine.
