I disagree. I think hacker news is what is implied by the very strongly its name: Hacker news.
I do notice stories that are strongly off topic tend to rise and fall precipitously. So there is some guiding hand keeping us straight.

- greenyoda 8y agoPlease read the Guidelines link at the bottom of this page to see HN's official policy. There, you'll see: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
