You received a response from HN moderator tomhow in the thread you are subreferencing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47404267 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47404267 > Mainstream world news has a place on HN if it contains "significant new information", and as much as this site is primarily for curious conversation and gratifying intellectual curiosity, we don't want to pretend that horrific events like this aren't happening. That thread is just 1 out of 30 on the front page. Far from "so political."
