A (very) simple heuristic. If it has Musk in the title while it's not necessary; it's clickbait and it probably doesn't fulfill the "intellectual curiosity" requirement for ontopic posts.
- thrance 2y agoPaul Graham's "anti-woke" manifesto reached the front page and stayed there for days unscathed but my post was deemed too political. I understand my post wouldn't fit a strict interpretation of HN's rules, but I don't feel like these rules are applied very consistently.

- cinntaile 2y agoMusk "news" is usually terribly boring so I'm quite grateful I'm not the only one who shares that opinion. I get that he cracked the code to be in the news 24/7 but we really don't need to act as his megaphone. It's a bit ironic that people that don't agree with your worldview have a limited worldview. Shouldn't you be above that as an enlightened member of this community?
- camillomiller 2y agoPeople that don't agree with me are people that I gladly have constructive debates with. What I'm talking about are people wringing tech as a baseball bat to destroy democracy, the followers and apologists of the Peter Thiels of this world. It's not a matter of views there, it's a matter of saving the society our grandparents have fought the nazis for.
