I read /new more often than the main page nowadays (not just due to flags on political stories, but it does give a better picture of what's relevant rather than the survivorship bias of the front page)

Maybe you should try reading a mainstream news site or news aggregator instead

I have long loved https://hckrnews.com for the chronological timeline, but the trail of [dead] across the timeline has been jaw dropping & horrifying to see & so so visible here.

A top tier concern of our age is disinformation & propoganda. The lies are absurd & out of control. But denial of information is also a huge issue, and the ability of a couple few to suppress & deny here is remarkable.

I'm so glad there's this timeline based site, showing what's really happening & the many many things denied.

I recommend: https://hn.algolia.com/

set for top stories for the last 24 hours

it's the best homepage for HN, shows all stories, flagged and flamed stories too

I treat http://news.ycombinator.com/active as the real front page. Flagged discussions show up there.
