I know people feel like the term is lightly thrown around, but some of the comments are straight up Nazi content.

I specifically avoid the more general subreddits like r/programming and r/technology because they overlap too much with HN and I don't want to see the same submissions in another place.

Very gross and not an exaggeration at all. A good portion of the stories aren't even tech related and submitted by username "hitler_was_right"

That is because the website has free speech and users vote on the articles. Spammers like HWR use a script to vote up their stories via bots but the users vote them down.

NAB has spaces to block HWR, and NAB was founded on Freedom of Speech by Aaron Swartz http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/becausewecan
