Which is understandable, given the rock and hard place that is current US dictatorship ...
But, are there better platforms to discuss tech (and to discuss the misuse of tech, like the current thread)?
Then people can choose what is in their feed without censoring extremely important topics with large impacts.
But yes, I simply don't expect this place to be responsive to 90% of politics at this point. I can see how Silicon Valley leans very conservative in cases like this and how it swaya the tech industry as a whole.
with more awareness of /active perhaps these urgent political conversations can still survive on HN.

Bluesky is probably the best place if you want to communicate directly with policy makers (ones who likely aren't assisting the regime). I personally talk about political stuff on Tildes as a smaller community that doesn't tolerate blatant hate. There's tech threads on Tildes as well, but to a lesser extent.
I don't have a reddit accout, but I generally also just browse a few reddit subs to get the fist gist of any major news. Just for 15 minutes or so. Politics for general stuff, Law for oversteps (thoighthough these days there's a lot of overlap), economics and economy for any more trade war nonsense.
