A few minutes with HN Search gave me these threads about Amazon warehouse workers. I'm sure there have been others.

I do not mean this as a dismissal of the issue. It's an important issue that workers be treated fairly. The question I'm talking about is much smaller and narrower: what do we do on Hacker News with MOTs (major ongoing topics) like this one? They will dominate the site entirely if allowed to (along with indignation-inducing posts generally). We can't simply let them go unmoderated—that would turn HN into a completely different kind of site, and not the kind that people currently come here for.
