It's not just me who flags it. Politics is off topic and gets flagged, whether you think it's relevant or not. Reposting the same crap 100 times is not going to help. Why not discuss it elsewhere because it's clearly not wanted here.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoWhat Elon and DOGE are doing is not just politics but very relevant technically, whether you think it's relevant or not. Tech used to be mostly separate from politics, which was wonderful, but unfortunately the self-proclaimed uber-engineer Elon decided he wanted to become MOTU, and so here we are. If I flagged everything I thought was boring on HN, I'd be flagging over half the posts. Everyone has a different subset of stuff they find interesting and care about, and can ignore the rest that they think is irrelevant/boring/crap. You don't need to flag stuff you don't find interesting, or "boring" or "crap" as you put it. You can just ignore it. So why flag it? Because it pushes a button you don't like?
- elpocko 2y agoI flag it mostly because a single topic and an insane number of dupes are flooding my feed, making it basically useless. I want to see much less of the off-topic spam; flagging is the only effective way to signal that. So yes, it pushes "a button I don't like." I'm getting tired of explaining this simple thing.
