What more can a person do than eat, drink, and take joy in their work?

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."
"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
Similarly, why are some DOGE posts allowed to pass through the flag-filter but not others?
I'll take your comment as a hint to take a break from HN. But please, do consider further detailing what kind of political content is acceptable or not.
But here's a response anyhow—if you look at the past explanations here:

you'll find exhaustive explanations of how we approach politics on HN. If you read some of that and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.
I should add, though, that it's too much to expect moderation to be consistent. The principles by which we moderate HN are consistent, but it's not possible to apply them consistently to all the content. There's far too much content for us to process it all, and randomness is a major factor in sevreral different ways.
