> the stories became much more opinionated

Opinionated with lots of personal political commentary and activism. I really just wanted "OS News" and not be pulled into emotional political drama at a tech site. I can get that in a gazillion other places.

I tried to delete my account about a year ago but there was no option I could see. A couple of weeks ago, I tried to sign in and noticed (I should have noticed earlier but I rarely visited) that the site was unsecured http (even at the login level).

Oh well... another site hacked with my fake & useless credentials.
