> How can I help de-politicize HackerNews? Short answer : Don't try. There were many fora on the internet before PG created HN and many others have sprung up since then. The allure of HN is its mix of contributors, expert opinions and topics as well as the civility of the conversation(s). A forum focussed narrowly on "hacking" would soon read like a monograph and quite likely die shortly thereafter. Instead of trying to change the offering, embrace the experience.
