https://icebergcharts.com , at least the linked ones

I but understand that site at all. What am I missing?

> Iceberg Charts are an information format in which an image is divided into tiers and things are sorted into this structure by how well known they are, with the most popular entries at the top and the truly obscure at the bottom.

> This makes them an interesting structure to share ones' interests and explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.

It's not like those you list as there's no voting, but I maintain https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ which is a river of links to posts on over 500 software engineering related blogs. There's an OPML file if you want to take the feeds into your own reader or you can submit feeds to add.

Oh, I also run https://rubyflow.com/ which is a MetaFilter-style linklog for the Ruby community, and somehow gets a fair few posts each day.

Why laugh? Hammer and sickle is the iconography for worker/peasant unity, often associated with Communist parties and Socialist states. What's the joke?

For reference you could check this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago

The cover has the same symbol.

> Or the swastika (whether hindu or Nazi)?

TIL the word is actually from Hindi - I was all ready to object to your giving them the same name (if only I'd known what the Hindu one was called, assuming it was different) - I thought they were entirely unrelated symbols and ideas that just happened to have a similar representation.

Seems obvious in retrospect, knowing स्वस्थ ('svast'/'swast' meaning healthy) though I suppose being British/born (decades) post-war my association for 'swastika' are just not anything to do with well-being at all.
