Talking about the situation of potential workplaces/countries is legit here IMHO. There are many tech workers living or planing to live in other countries on this site. And several complaints in the last years about Germany were about the growing hostility from the extreme right. This is a step in a good direction. But it won't solve the problems in general.

Those posts generally don't stay there more than a few minutes. Feel free to hide them. But I agree with you on a point, I wish it was better specified which kinds of politics are allowed or not and when.

Edit: aaand it's flagged.

I finally got fed up yesterday and wrote a userscript so I can just silently block the offenders, their links, and their comments in perpetuity. It's a load off my mind.

Not much worse than every other post being about AI bullshit tbh.

God forbid we add a tagging system that lets you blacklist tags.

Then again, I have the same complaint about reddit (which has flairs, but doesn't let you blacklist them because then you'd be able to filter out all the ragebait)
