Ask HN: Is HN crowd a left-leaning?

Observing some discussion about HN on my native language, I realize that from their opinion we are incredibly left-leaning but the only difference from other resources is that our leftists are not so bold as on other webforums but at least capable to explain their position before flagging/downvoting any non-leftist opponent.

I do not agree with them but on that very old Linux forum it is kind of consensus. How do you recognize yourself on HN and on another webforums from the political spectrum point of view?
