I am indifferent to this except for the possible negative effects it might have on HN.

I hope it does not cause any significant changes to the community here, either from signs of censoring criticism or the topic consistently derailing threads. Every single online community I am apart of is getting wrapped up more and more into American politics it seems.

As I understand it, Sam Altman is not involved in moderating HN. That is Dan Gackle's responsibility. So, I don't have any reason to believe that it would in any way impact moderation of HN.

The concern may be discussion on the topic crowding other things out.
