Garry Tan and Paul Graham both post praise of the DOGE team on their Twitter pages. Maybe the problem extends above users.
I keep a list of recent falsely flagged HN stories in my favorites. There's a pretty clear theme there.

Someone should make an alternative HN frontpage listing only the flagged discussions, ordered by upvotes/comments.
https://news.ycombinator.com/active lists all stories, including flagged stories.

Great idea; I'm gonna start doing the same.
The question at this point is when do we pivot away to an alternative where these topics aren't covered up? Maybe even hosted in Europe.
There's https://frontpage.fyi/, which is built on ATProto (same as Bluesky). Doesn't seem to have a whole lot of activity yet, though.
Tildes has replaced HN and Reddit as the site I default to for news aggregation.
I do feel like it is a bit light on the technology/programming front, otherwise it has a well-rounded mix of interesting topics. I feel like its decisions to not have a downvote button, as well as only allowing sign-ups through limited invites from other existing users, were smart ones.
