Censorship affects everyone.
Like, literally, your ability to understand the world around you.
If that's not "tech," then I think folks need to broaden their perspective.

- sky2224 1y agoI agree, but I'm basing this on HackerNews' own guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html My explanation was a little bit narrow by mentioning tech though, that just happens to be the general thing shared most of the time.
- appreciatorBus 1y agoThere are plenty places that aren’t HN to discuss politics. Since everything is connected to everything else, by your logic, every discussion forum must discuss everything. If you prefer more open-ended discussions about everything, I would suggest trying Twitter or Bluesky .
- peterashford 1y agoYou could choose to just skip the topic?
- appreciatorBus 1y agoSure but if that is a reasonable solution, why even bother with distinct forums like HN? Just subsume every UGC site into something like a single global Usenet like group called “general” with the expectation that every user is responsible for fine tuning their own personal filters to their liking. Having different sites focussed on different topics is very useful to people, and I don’t think the world would be better if we got rid of it.
