I believe that HN has seen a return to civility over the last 4 years. I see less politics and less extreme posturing now than in, say, 2020. I can't figure out a reason.
I doubt HN is being directly attacked. It's possible this has to do with more direct policing of accounts - if you turn on "showdead" you'll see quite a few accounts whose every post is automatically marked dead. Facebook and Twitter offer such easy pickings that it may be too much effort for the money to attack HN.
