It is indeed overrun with something evil, I had to switch to /active because anything critical of Musk is flagged away from the frontpage in seconds. At this rate the whole Hacker News will be completely irrelevant in a few weeks.
I mean we do get a few of them per week. I think there is a legit danger of too much heated political discussion changing the character of this site. I feel it's about the right dosage?
Anything critical of Musk flagged away? I don't think it's the right dosage at all.
The trouble with erasing tech-relevant political news is the news part of Hacker News. It can and does work on non-news forums, I frequent some of those. But here it looks like ...brigading, or whatever the correct term is, and it greatly diminishes the value of this site.
