Huh. My impression is that a preponderance of HN agrees with his conclusion. Stories about it from a variety of sources (not just Haidt) routinely make the front page; ditto techno-negative stories in general.
But true or not, he hasn't come close to supporting his claims.
HN is basically just reddit with slightly more dissent with the prevailing bias to be found in the [flagged] [dead] section. When the hivemind encounters data that causes cognitive dissonance it downvotes and flags it.
