Also - post things that are more interesting that Politics.
There is such an abundance of Political fodder that it makes political stories less relevant or interesting.
There's a place for it, but it's not here. If people wanted that, there would be no need for HN's.
It's not really censoring as much as that's the boring content that's on every other major news syndicate.
- Calvin02 9y agoThis isn’t about politics. It is about how tech companies are enabling outsiders to create political discord and influence elections.
- gamechangr 9y agoThe whole "influence elections" was interesting in the Spring of 2017 when Trump was recently elected. Now it's just a dead horse that's being beat. Let me give you the benefit of the doubt - Is this the first you have heard of it?
- Calvin02 9y agoThis is the first I’ve heard of Reddit being used in this capacity. In my opinion, Reddit could have had a greater influence than either Facebook or Twitter. On Facebook, the Russians ran ads and they used bots on Twitter but in both of those cases the total reach was probably less than Reddit’s reach. Also, while we are scrutinizing Facebook and Twitter (rightly), it is time that Reddit (the fourth most popular site) should also have to explain what it is doing.
