- minimaxir 2y agoThis is in the messy HN gray area of "politics that doesn't have a tech angle" and "politics that are extremely indicitive of the times." EDIT: Looks like dang turned off flags.
- BoredPositron 2y agoNope, the brigading of every topic which only scrapes at doge/elon/trump is too obvious at that point. I would really like an anti brigading mode with a higher karma threshold. 31 karma is not enough in times were both parties want to silence the other.
- dang 2y agoI'm not sure I understand you correctly but here's a list of 40 major recent threads on that topic cluster: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43168527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43168527
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI want to thank @dang for that. It would be wonderful if we lived in time where we could put on blinders to what is happening around us. The times are getting a little too "interesting" though.
- dcminter 2y agoI don't. Not because this isn't an important topic - it is, but because: > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, [...] unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. This is about politics. It is already being covered on TV news. Is it evidence of an interesting new phenomenon? It's unusual to see that sort of behaviour, sure, but in the Trump era? How surprised are we exactly? All the comments are the very predictable trench digging. I'd rather see it flagged into oblivion.

- dcminter 2y agoSure, I can just ignore those articles, so lets open it up and just have /new as the front page. No harm, right, it definitely won't caause a change in the character of the site or attract a different audience. Sheesh, think about the other point of view for more than 10 seconds please instead of just reacting.
