I wish there was tighter rules around what stays on the front page of HN. I come here for tech news or interesting nerdy blog posts not this stuff.

- flohofwoe 1y agoNot much worse than every other post being about AI bullshit tbh.
- josefritzishere 1y agoI have the same complaint. If AI can automate a whoopie cushion it gets a post.

- thrance 1y agoThose posts generally don't stay there more than a few minutes. Feel free to hide them. But I agree with you on a point, I wish it was better specified which kinds of politics are allowed or not and when. Edit: aaand it's flagged.
- nataliste 1y agoI finally got fed up yesterday and wrote a userscript so I can just silently block the offenders, their links, and their comments in perpetuity. It's a load off my mind.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoGod forbid we add a tagging system that lets you blacklist tags. Then again, I have the same complaint about reddit (which has flairs, but doesn't let you blacklist them because then you'd be able to filter out all the ragebait)
- PurpleRamen 1y agoTalking about the situation of potential workplaces/countries is legit here IMHO. There are many tech workers living or planing to live in other countries on this site. And several complaints in the last years about Germany were about the growing hostility from the extreme right. This is a step in a good direction. But it won't solve the problems in general.
