All comments in which the word 'socialism' appeared, are now [flagged] and [dead], therefore invisible for most users. And you still dare to argue that there is no far left political bias and manipulation on HN? EDIT: I posted this comment and immediately refreshed the page. I took no more than 2 seconds, and this comment already had 0 points. No real user would be able to reload a discussion page, recognize a comment as a new, read it and downvote, all of this within 2 seconds after the comment was posted. I bet some bots do this, maybe this is even happening on the server side. Thank you for providing the best evidence for my words!

Your comment was (rightly, since it's false, off topic, and unsubstantive) downvoted by a user who happened to see it less than a minute after you posted it. This is hardly unusual on a high-traffic site. The comments you're referring to were rightly flagged by users as containing nothing more than empty political rhetoric. We don't need posts on HN like "This is what socialism looks like. Bernie fans take note." This would be just as true if you flipped all the ideological bits. I've given you many detailed explanations in response to these insinuating comments about HN, and already asked you once to stop. Every sinister claim you've made has had a simple factual explanation. If you are open to changing your mind, you now have lots of good information; if not, that's your prerogative; either way, it's high time you stopped posting these harmfully misleading comments here.
