HN is unabashedly homogeneous. It's a community by and for science-educated upper-income white male software engineers who (claim to) value thinking like scientists and being articulate, and share a strikingly uniform set of opinions about the industry and politics.
The set of opinions that will not get you downvoted into oblivion / pushed out of the community is so narrow that, assuming you like a decent proportion of highly upvoted submissions and comments, you'll almost assuredly like all of them.
There are plenty of people who don't. They are just not on HN (anymore).
