Off-topic, on a reasonably fast connection on a machine with Intel i7 and 16 GB of RAM, this page loads slowly and scrolling is painfully slow and not smooth. No ad blocker because this is a new machine and new setup. Of course, I will add an ad blocker extension.

Frankly I'm struggling with the fact that there are links to that fascist shitrag on the front page of HN. I should have looked more carefully.

For anyone else interested in the subject but not wanting to give the DM traffic, the discussion here is around the proposed demolition of the Old Terminal at Zvartnots Airport.

Maybe we should gather and burn its print copies /s

It's an article. Enjoy it or not on its own merits.

It's an ad-supported site which I'd have preferred not to support. I don't want to read their 'articles', much like I don't want to click through to a breitbart article.

I guess it's all there though, I just missed it. I'll just have to be a bit more cautious as to what I'm clicking on when I'm on HN in future.

Others do, however. Are you in favor of shutting them down or forbidding links to them?

And who would determine which are OK to link to?

Some elite? Common consensus? Yeah, because either of these has worked great in the past...

Also, how about toning down the hyperbola a little ("fascist"). It's DailyMail, a known popular low-quality gossip right-wing newspaper. Hardly fascist though (except in the all too common sense of "Everyone I disagree with is Hitler").
