Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Staying in any kind of echo chamber for too long is a bad idea. Like-minded people will reinforce ideas that they like, and it can be an isolating and potentially damaging experience to exclusively read from HN. The real crown jewel in HN's crown is crowdsourced link aggregation, and there are a lot of aggregators for a lot of different topics. Take some time to find quality sources, vet them for a short while and incorporate them into your daily reading. There's a lot of information out there these days, so it can seem appealing to hide from it. There are also really high-quality information sifting tools available though.
