Orange site censoring posts left and right as US descends further into fascism (news.ycombinator.com)

The tech bro hive mind on HN is furiously flagging (i.e., voting into invisibility) any submissions dealing with Tesla, Elon Musk or the kafkaesque US immigration detention situation. Add "/active" to the URL to see.

The site's moderator says it's fine because users are "tired of the repetition". Repetition of what exactly? Attempts to get through the censorship wall?

Instead of the homepage, I now just browse lists > active and "flagged" now means "interesting for you!"

Thanks. Great hint!
This is how I use HN now. I don't bother with the censored front page anymore.
