I can only speak for myself. If the news article has anything to do with tech and things "interesting to hackers", I upvote. For example, the article about Palantir and ICE yesterday [1]. But articles like this one have nothing interesting to me. There are plenty of other places to discuss this like BlueSky, X, reddit, Facebook, etc. I beg you to please spare this last interesting forum.

Also it pisses me off how nobody talks about certain very relevant elephants in the room on these discussions. And it's more like venting and coping. Nobody will change their minds. Nothing will be done. Nothing is learned.

Note: I am not American.

"But articles like this one have nothing interesting to me".

When a post is of no interest to me, I ignore it. I don't read all the comments and reply to the 20th one.

So long as they are relevant to the website’s stated topic. It’s nice to have one place on the internet that is not about US politics.

Good point. That does seem contradictory.

Fair position. What are the relevant elephants in the room in your opinion, just out of genuine curiosity?
