Technology is a tool, how you use that tool is an expression of politics, whether or not you consciously think it is.

It is inevitable that on a technology site, politics relating to technology will come in.

Do they need to be ~80% of the front page though?

  • yes. Especially when it is of this importance. Even IF it was 80%, which of course it is not.

    • It isn't 80% right now thankfully, but it has been at many points over the last few weeks. I don't see what purpose it solves apart from making people avoid HN.
