A few months ago, I stopped reading random news and decided to stick only to Hacker News. But now, even Hacker News is filled with random content. I guess there's no escaping the news these days.


Talking about armed brinksmanship between two nuclear powers is sooooo random, maybe a more specialized community like they have on Reddit is more your speed?


Thanks for the judgment, but I think you might have missed the point I was making.


What point are you trying to make? HN has always had threads about major events and two nuclear powers fighting is a major event.


If you can’t take the news, get out of the aggregator.


You could use this filter to remove politics from HN: https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+all-politics

I logged odd Twitter and can only access it through an eink device. I am much saner now.

I really enjoy reading the community here chime in on current events, but I also lament that I can't shield my online consumption from the news.


HN is the easiest place to skip the content you are not interest in


Of course, but the problem is not that I am not interested, it's the contrary I am instinctively attracted to it!

If it was lack of interest I wouldn't need to place so much friction between me and Twitter.


It'll show up on your doorstep before too long, keep it up.


hackernews is very biased
