Tell HN: HN is becoming too political

HN has always stood out for its focus on tech, but lately, almost every thread drifts into politics. This community should be a respite from the political maelstrom found everywhere else.

I agree. If I wanted to engage in political discussions or stay informed about current events, I could use Reddit or Bluesky. That's not what I come to HN for.

You might be out of luck when something isn’t what you wish it was.

I don't think technology or finance is apolitical, regardless of what we want from it. Whether or not that justifies ignoring the political side should be up to the individual.

Can you provide specific examples of threads that drift into politics?

Maybe there should be filters? I prefer talking about politics with this crowd than say reddit or bluesky.
