It's not a tech community then if half of users engage in hot item political topics on the regular, is it?

Pointing to individual responsibility is a great diversion strategy, well done!

For that particular problem, only one team seems to acknowledge that it is a serious problem though.

Pushing the responsibility on individuals is pretty much what happened for the past 30 years with the results we know.

"Individuals" don't build railroad networks, schools, bridges, etc. Individuals are never gonna build a nuclear power plant or get a person on the moon either

The Stanford Energy / Precourt Institute youtube channel has full 20 - 60 minute post-grad level presentations on a ton of stuff: https://www.youtube.com/user/PrecourtInstitute

FWIW absolutely nobody would share your "this should be on individuals not policy" conclusion. They're quite explicit in stating the opposite.

I don't see much partisanship in this comment section, mostly people discussing the O&G amortization schedules. I agree that, in general, it would be better if HN had less political posts. That said, just upvote the type of posts you think are interesting and move on.

To echo your last point: If we spent half as much time upvoting as individuals instead of finger pointing, we wouldn't need HN moderator intervention at all.

Not that I've seen but if you want to jam together on setting one up let's do it: [email protected]. I'll even do the heavy lifting, would just be nice to have someone around and encourage engagement.

Could you send me an invite? I promise I will only talk about tech.

Unfortunately I've just lurked for years.
