"...whether the site’s original tech-intellectual culture can be responsibly scaled up to make space for a more inclusive, wider-ranging vision of technology."

I don't come to Hacker News for "inclusive" technology - which these days appear to be a politically-correct euphemism for forced diversity.

I come to Hacker News for discussions on technology.

Anything that prioritizes the "inclusive" nature of technology, versus the "technology" itself, is irrelevant to me, and has nothing to do with the main interests of the site (hacking and technology) and should be downvoted. Keep politics and social politics out from Hacker News.

Yet, often non-technical topics are upvoted massively, indicating big interest in HN community in this topic. So you are saying we should enforce the opposite, because 'this is Hacker news'? Not much of a difference to me as indifferent bystander, 2 extremists discussing whose side is more righteous if you ask me.

A random example - astronomy, my pet love, is discussed here often, yet rarely articles themselves have anything to do with 'hacking' or technology. I don't see much protests against that.
