For what its worth I think the filtering that Off Topic does is quite imperfect, and leans towards having more false negatives.

Heres an example of real posts that got filtered out:

- Show HN: I made an open-source laptop from scratch: 3,237 pts - Git commands I run before reading any code: 2,338 pts - Ghostty 1.0: 2,319 pts - AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1: 2,246 pts - Zed 1.0: 2,153 pts - Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code: 2,127 pts - U.S. homelessness jumps to record high (scored 7) - Macron says €300B in EU savings… (6) - Mysterious New Jersey drone sightings (6) - Celebrities say they are being censored by TikTok (5.5) - Google will still have to break up its business (4.5) - Japanese scientists develop artificial blood (4.5)

Its not just filtering non-technical things, also posts that just report something.
