That's an interesting way of putting it. I first came on here to learn about Arc. It was just tech. Then it became tech+business. What you're seeing is simply that at scale, politics is inextricable from tech+business, just as, at scale, business is inextricable from tech.

For me, the issue is that the legal and political (and to a growing degree, the business) discussions here are totally uninteresting; I'm not particularly interested in engaging in those sorts of conversations anywhere. But there are so many really great posters who have such strong, smart technical opinions that I keep coming back.

Tagging might help, at least at the story submission level.

It was tech+business before it was tech: The site started out as "Startup News" (which is when I personally have my fondest memories of it).

I like that name better. There's nothing "hacker" about this.
