I find the political discussions on here interesting and generally of decent+ caliber. Plus so much of what’s happening is tech related / enabled.
There’s 30 posts on the front page. If someone doesn’t care about politics why can’t they just ignore that 1 post instead of flagging it into oblivion?
I agree that it is slightly better than Reddit but often it just turns into a mess that doesn't touch on tech.
They are plenty of places for political discussions. HN is a rare great place for tech so personally I'd rather keep it that way.
