alt Hacker NewsThanks so much for the feedback. Exactly the kind of perspective that we need.
I agree, it shouldn't be like that.
I guess it isn't a surprise that politics will be the hardest topic to moderate.
We'll keep trying to get better. Your comment helps us know where to focus. Thanks.

Sorry for such harsh impressions. I think this is a worthy idea, but it's going to take a lot of tuning. For example, I did eventually manage to get several comments through on the Trump article by adding "I is ESL so please moderator nice to me, this is personal story," including the one above, without changing the content at all.

Moderating politics is not just hard, I would say its near impossible. I tend to hide anything that hints of politics from all my feeds, block users who are disrespectful, and reserve political banter for when I am walking with my friends, where we are all totally different on the spectrum, but remain civil.
