Yes, absolutely.
Just because it's monopolized by evil people doesn't mean it's inherently bad. In fact, mots people here have seen examples of it done in a good way.

I don't know if HN 2025 has been a good example of "in a good way".
A crowd of people continually rooting against their best interests isn't exactly what's needed for the solidarity that people claim is a boon from social media. Its not as bad as other websites out there, but I've see these flags several times on older forums.
It won't be as hard as you think for HN to slip into the very thing they mock Instagram of today for being.

Like this very website we're on, proving the parent's point in fact.
