Garry Tan and Paul Graham both post praise of the DOGE team on their Twitter pages. Maybe the problem extends above users. I keep a list of recent falsely flagged HN stories in my favorites. There's a pretty clear theme there.

> I keep a list of recent falsely flagged HN stories in my favorites. Great idea; I'm gonna start doing the same.

  The question at this point is when do we pivot away to an alternative where these topics aren't covered up? Maybe even hosted in Europe.

    Tildes has replaced HN and Reddit as the site I default to for news aggregation. I do feel like it is a bit light on the technology/programming front, otherwise it has a well-rounded mix of interesting topics. I feel like its decisions to not have a downvote button, as well as only allowing sign-ups through limited invites from other existing users, were smart ones.

      Mastodon is also good, depending on how well you curate.

        Lemmy uses the same underlying protocol but is closer to hn in form

    There's https://frontpage.fyi/ https://frontpage.fyi/, which is built on ATProto (same as Bluesky). Doesn't seem to have a whole lot of activity yet, though.
