I flagged this article, since IMO, it's a tired, uninteresting, zero-evidence screed that pushes a discredited and dangerous narrative (i.e. that incivility is a bigger problem than censorship)
- kobayashi 11y agoI agree that the article was a waste of time, but why is that worth a flag?
- Karunamon 11y agoThat's pretty much the purpose of the flag if I interpret it right. If you post and upvote things you think are interesting and legitimate, then by converse, you should flag things that are boring and illegitimate. It's more of a "Knowing what I know of Hacker News, I don't think this fits"
- kobayashi 11y agoYeah, fare enough. Mine was a stupid question, anyway. I just took a stroll the the HN guidelines, and interestingly it advised not commenting that you've flagged something after actually flagging it.
- gaius 11y agoI interpreted more to mean "this requires the attention of a moderator".
