It's still here. But instead of doomscrolling about news, I see people doomscrolling about how they aren't good enough programmers. HN seems to promote a large number of redundant (and sometimes utterly vapid) blog posts of people trying to SEO their CV. And TBH, politics still makes it to the front page, as do controversial tech issues. There are still of plenty of zealots willing to make everything political, but then again some issues naturally are: musk, crypto, censorship, etc.
Granted, HN is not even remotely as bad as 24-hour news stations, but it still creeps in because that's the world we live in (today, anyway).

- sbf501 4y ago> textbook case of projection Well, as I said if you bothered to read my post "some issues naturally are political". But more importantly: what makes you think I _don't_ consider myself a zealot? I never said I wasn't. Lol. Textbook mindreading thought-error. But thanks for being so obsessed with me that went through my history from another discussion we were in. I'm flattered.
