> unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.
Like the death of American democracy, the death throes of the global status quo? The normalisation of facism?
I've been here for a decade and a half and I've never once felt the need to discuss politics here before. This situation is very different and is sure to have a direct effect on anything else we may want to discuss in the future. There's also often a technological aspect where I am dying to hear expert opinion and this is where the experts are.
Again, this situation is very new and it requires a response. Hundreds of people are upvoting these articles every day and every day they're being told to go elsewhere. It's a very disconcerting feeling and I don't understand why "hide" isn't enough.
So you want to hide it for everyone.
