Just registered to say that we're getting more and more off-topic postings on this forum. This has nothing to do with hacking or tech. This is just politics, and the source is "fake news" CNN, no less.

Please don't let this forum turn into another reddit. Some of us specifically come here to read informed opinions, interesting topics, and avoid that social media crowd that has plagued reddit after digg died.

Please dont create throwaway accounts to snipe at stuff you don't like, so you can avoid karma hits.

that is very "Reddit" like behaviour.

Not very much of a throwaway Mr.Multi-Year HN Member :P

But yeah, if your going to make shitposting, throwaway alts with no investment or risk to put your "valuable" opinion out there, you deserve a downvote. This is not Reddit, we can't quarantine throwaways to a particular subreddit.

It's not a throwaway account. Just don't post much so never bothered to register an account.

You are off topic. The nick you have chosen causes you to show up in HN searches for "lisp", whether you're commenting about Lisp or not.

Speaking of search: good way to avoid much of what you don't think is "tech" or on topic.
