I don't think tags will change things, because it is the audience that has changed here. I see a lot of tech topics being buried because they are tangentially political, and in general this is no longer "hacker news", but the frontpage is more like "middle-management and marketing news with a dose of social media hysteria". I recommend browsing the "new", "ask" and "show" sections for more interesting topics and less repetitive debate.
