That's precisely how I see it.
Activists are trying to manipulate HN to disseminate their particular partisan point of view, and in the process they are manipulating this forum to focus on serving their private agenda and in the process ruining it for all of us who come here for the tech stuff.
And people like me come here for the tech stuff, not some activist's political agenda and their bile-spewing.

If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. not 'On topic: tech stuff'.
