        It’s weird they’re in the tech community more than the US politic one.

      Because they blocked you? Maybe they don’t want to see posts from people who don’t summarize the articles in the subject/title?

      (The current subject is from the source, “Microsoft Follows Google on a Controversial Decision - gHacks Tech News”.)
