Crazy, there was someone who just posted a rant against BLM in response to this s3r3nity's comment and it was deleted like two minutes ago. Does HN suffer from the same censorship that Facebook does?
- some-guy 10y agoNothing wrong with that -- as HN readers we can flag / downvote comments and perform our own collective self-censorship (for better or worse).
- pdeuchler 10y agoexcept when HN readers flag comments they show up as dead and are in grey text, whereas this was entirely deleted
- colejohnson66 10y agoThe poster can delete their post within 2 hours, right?
- dragonwriter 10y agoSometimes, HN commenters realize that their own comment was ill-considered and use the "delete" link on the comment to eradicate the ill-considered post. Since the basic, overt user-facing functionality of the site can explain the action without invoking heavy-handed moderation, I see no reason to suspect the latter.
