Really hard to care about a niche social network like this if it isn’t federated, honestly. Far as I’m concerned it could go the exact same way as Hacker News or Reddit.
Some people (granted, I remember reading this on Reddit) consider Hacker News to be full of right wing chuds. I personally just found it to be pretty full of techbros and programmers who were weirdly up themselves the last few times I tried to use it. r/programmingcirclejerk was basically all Hacker News comments lol
Its still alive and well. Its generally less memey and focuses on a higher quality of discourse. Its a different environment that can still be fun but its definitely brainier. Nothing wrong with engaging intelligent people, it makes you smarter.
It’s literally the tech bro news site, though, by design. This criticism is ridiculous. YCombinator is the organization that funds so many Silicon Valley tech dreams.

Any more info on what is meant by the Hacker News comment?

What happened to Hacker News? It doesn’t appear to have changed, though I haven’t used it in years. It was always a bit too techbro for me.

Same opinion I have of it, too techbro. Easier to avoid those circles on a federated site.

It’s not a criticism. It just wasn’t to my taste.
