The same happens here, on HN. 2-3 years ago there were mostly articles about programming, computing and information technology (as originally intended), but now it mostly consists of mainstream news, politics and depressing stories about the end of the world.
(It's better than half year ago, though, now only 80% BBCs and nytimes, not 100%)
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI think that the real world came to get us. We had our nice little tech enclave. And then we discovered that, even if we didn't care about politics, politics was still being done to us - governments were making policies that we had to live under, no matter how libertarian we were. We found out that housing policy had real consequences for our lives. We found out stuff like that in non-tech area after non-tech area. And after being negatively affected by stuff that we wanted to ignore, some of us started paying attention to it - not because we wanted to, but because we felt like we had to.
