I see a lot of posts on my feed that imply something very bad for trans/queer people in the US might have happened recently. What was it? (I've been doing my best to not follow that kind of news for the good of my health.)

alternatively: did someone do a "tech should be apolitical" recently

@hikari I haven't gone hunting for it, but given the sources of the chatter, I think someone did at least a "tech should be apolitical" on one of the Asahi linux channels.

@hikari Apparently Alyssa's post briefly made HN's front page and that went about as well as you'd expect.

@steve @hikari I would be shocked if it got more than 5 comments before being flagged

@saagar @steve the site tolerates such a wide spectrum of political discussion: from white liberalism to white fascism and everything in between!

@hikari @steve Honestly politics should be banned from Hacker News, not because it doesn’t belong near technology, but on account of the site being unable to moderate those discussions

@hikari @saagar @steve liberals/fascists banning politics just means no talking about trans people or any kind of oppression. just smile while we stab you. :)

@mewtrino @hikari @steve It’s only oppression if it comes from the EU in the form of regulation. Otherwise it’s just sparkling discomfort
