"new Hacker News rules"
I think this should read: current weeklong experimental policy on Hacker News.
I also don't feel like this list of books justifies getting flagged, even during this reprieve from political discussion. If loads of comments start flaming, maybe then. But right now it is just a list of suggested books to read.
- freyir 10y agoIt's a slippery slope. If we censor articles indiscriminately, what's the point of censoring them at all?
- bingaman 10y agoTo make us feel better about collaborating with authoritarians
- geofft 10y agoThat's specifically counter to the rules, though: it's a detox. We're supposed to get better as a community by avoiding these topics entirely. Flaming was already against the rules, and low-contribution (though non-flaming) comments were already subject to downvote.
- andars 10y agoGot it. I would have been happiest with this on the front page, but I just happen to really like reading lists. No matter.
