@hikari @steve Honestly politics should be banned from Hacker News, not because it doesn’t belong near technology, but on account of the site being unable to moderate those discussions

@saagar @steve politics should be banned from HN because currently the ban only extends to certain relatively left-ish topics and the ban is enforced by the userbase :/

@saagar @hikari are you implying that an overwhelmingly straight cis male middle-class reactionary userbase who believe themselves to be the put-upon minority may not be the most accurate judges of the boundaries of acceptable political discourse?
