Look at this user's submission history - nothing but inflammatory political posts, almost nothing related to technology.

This is one of the only aggregation websites yet to turn into the typical Twitter/Reddit screaming chamber, disappointing to see users actively try to push it in that direction.

Ironically HN almost seems like one of the better discussion venues for all of these incendiary (and possibly off-topic) posts, because:

HN occasionally has downvote wars, but overall it seems to have done pretty well, even while comment sections on other sites (Ars Technica...) devolved into screaming chambers.

Apart from whether this messenger specialises in "inflammatory political posts" the fact remains that this specific message potentially "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity", especially given the way potential side effects of SARS2 vaccination have been made close to impossible to discuss without being labelled and pushed to the sideline. Assuming that the "European Heart Journal" is immune to being labelled as "anti-vaxx" and other similar epithets their decision to publish this article should give pause to those who attempt to silence any discussion on this subject.

I for one would really prefer more tech content. On certain days I barely see any interesting one, and while the discussion on non-tech topics can at times still be interesting, it is often prone to the typical ego-disease of IT people (I’m also guilty of that), who overestimate their knowledge on foreign topics.

I still think that a tagging system would greatly benefit the site.
