Hacker News Reader

There's a certain set of HN readers who think it's off-topic and likely to result in flamewars, and so flag political content off the front page.

Sorry, buy posts like these aren't productive.

What are you talking about? There's 60 comments right now, and maybe 8 of them can be construed as favourable to putin&russia. so who's astroturfing?

I agree. This post was on front page. By the time i tried to go back to it a few minutes later it plummeted to mid page 2.

Yes, it was on HN front page.[0]

But it seems like @dang immediately shadowed it manually.[0]

Now You may not find actual discussion scrolling even all 15 public pages of HN's "news".[1]

I dont see that happening on any of the current 7 comments.
