Hi HN, Wanted to share a project I made over the weekend - a real-time fascism tracker. The site fetches recent news from trusted sources, filters it for keywords related to fascism and the current US administration, and then sends it to GPT-4o for classification according to the 14 characteristics of fascism described by Dr. Lawrence Britt. With the rapid pace of news in the US, especially post-election, it’s hard to keep up. I built this site so you can quickly see important topics and draw parallels with similar historical events. Would love to hear your thoughts. - Ryan

    eh its fine, i just reported it since i dont like to see US politics everywhere even in general communities, and because of rule 1. And it takes away attention from other posts, so while they sit at 20 upvotes and 0 comments for example the US politics one has 200 and 10 comments ie (KIM im not american, and i hate muskrat too)

    It’s your community, i respect your decision.
