My expectations are too high. I shouldn't except HN crowd to understand the difference between mainstream and intersectional feminism.
But it is hilarious that posts on gender and race issue get flagged to death, posts about class are always voted to the top, and anything that threatens the status quo spurs outrage.
- dang 11y agoThere actually aren't as many posts on class, though we (where "we" really means society) seem to be getting there. I'm thinking of adding to the site guidelines to please not post generalizations about the HN community unless you have data. It seems almost always to be associated with low-information, divisive comments. I don't mean to pick on you personally; lots of users do it. But almost always in bad parts of threads.
- kelukelugames 11y agoDang, you've mentioned this to me before so I have been counting, but I prefer a more scientific method. Are there APIs that let me know the number of flags for a post? Edit: also why I asked for the number of upvotes. According to him it was 45? That's a lot.
