"heavy partisanship" - I've seen this claim a few times and I find it a bit odd. Certainly I feel HN leans left, but I've never seen what I would consider a strong preference for any particular political party? When the American daggers do come out - it seems fairly split? Even the post about the Canadian meta data law the other day, left leaning maybe, but I see when partisan comments came out directly, it looked about even?

I think we'll be able to quantify sentiment from the data, and I look forward to doing so. There's a few other datasets that I want to look at such as whether there is evidence of participation suppression via rate limiting on a per-profile basis.

If you do an investigation, I'd be genuinely curious what you find, I obviously have a tiny sample size, I use this site a lot, for a long time, as have you, so maybe you're right! :)
