- dang 10y agoUsers tend to flag purely political stories and moderators add downweights to them. That's part of keeping the balance on HN, which is not a primarily political site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
- dopamean 10y agoIt is a little weird to let that affect a story that is obviously of huge interest to the visitors of this site.
- dragonwriter 10y agoIt's being flagged by people who are also users of the site, and is right at the center of a category defined as likely off-topic by the site guidelines. While I certainly find it an interesting topic worth discussing, I think the rules and community moderation is working as advertised and as designed here.
