Recognition is subjective, so idk what to say here. You want more of this, forum wants less. I guess there's enough places to discuss it. Maybe people don't want this "vital context" here. It's not that a forum was sort of a closed city, people visit other places freely. And if they do not, they probably value how it works here.
I only visited a few links in the past weeks, but most of them shared that thing where they establish a very shaky background and then just switch to pushing their thick angsts and then users comment on conspiracies. E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43022307 I'm not trying to convince you, just explaining what I see.
I don't think that's true, and I pointed out why above. Threads about this stuff get flagged, but have a lot of upvotes and discussion. So again, you are being given a very filtered impression of what the majority here want to see.
We could find out for sure, if dang permitted one discussion on this to survive without being flagged. He refused to do that.

If you don't think a 4.5 trillion dollar transfer from medicaid and social programs to tech bro's pockets is important, but it is important that stories about this are flagged before you have to look at them, then Idk what to tell you. That's definitely not the HN I want to see, and I'm happy to risk being banned to say so.
Btw, a $4.5tn wealth transfer works out to over $13k from every man woman and child in the US. You will be feeling this, sooner rather than later.
