flag, hide and move on. that being said, I'm not sure what you expect. many of trump's actions for better or worse have tech consequences.

    in that case maybe it's time to move on from HN, and maybe the internet generally until 2028.

      Maybe, but HN is so good when it focuses on concrete tech issues. AI prognostications are almost worse than the politics.

    I appreciate discussions on politics with smart people that don't always agree with me. I don't want HN to turn into an echo chamber. I understand why people would choose not to see news about politics, and I am also frustrated by how frequently discourse about these important issues turns into personal attacks and uncivil discourse. I second that these developments have immense repercussions in tech and in the lives of many of us (even those who live across the Atlantic such as myself).

      Are there not enough politics forums for that sort of thing already? How does HN became and echo chamber if we limit ourselves to tech discussions? I might agree with you if the discussions were high value, but in the current environment that is essentially impossible.

        > I might agree with you if the discussions were high value, but in the current environment that is essentially impossible. All the more reason we should keep trying. These are important discussions and this place has some very smart people who can actually make a difference.
