This would be great for Reddit - the king of rage politics.

The problem with Reddit is different. Poor quality human moderation is the problem there. Basically who has 10 hours a day to read Reddit? Answer, terminally online bubble people who have no business moderating other's posts. Maybe if the LLM could completely bypass the moderators then it could work though.

		When I tried Reddit a while back, that problem showed up even with no moderation action being taken. I guess cause an obsessed person will use the site like 1000x more than a regular person, they end up being the "majority." The voting system also encourages bad behavior.

Any social site inclusive of this one ought to have such a feature.

Agreed. I am getting tired of half the HN posts being about politics. I come here to get away from that stuff, but it is becoming a greater portion of the content.

		Look at the number of responses on each article to see why that happens. Also, most articles aren't about politics. But the ones with lots of responses and discussion usually are. Network effect sucks sometimes...

		I would mind far less if the political comments were only the political posts. I just avoid clicking into those. It's when I click into an interesting topic, and it's steered into being an offtopic retread of every other thread about US politics. The upvote/downvote system simply no longer works to squelch it as it once did, because there are enough people here who believe "everything is political" and therefore it's always "on-topic". That is their prerogative, but it has dramatically lessened my enjoyment and engagement on this platform in the last 5 years. And it's gone into overdrive in the last 6 months.

		HN posts are mostly not about politics, at least not on the top page. Sometimes a non-politics post ends up getting politics comments though.
