Funny, I see a dominant opinion in the other (flagged) threads and an another dominant opinion in this one.

- dang 9y agoThose threads were all extremely active and most if not all spent significant time on HN's front page, so I'm not sure what your point is? More generally: these perceptions are strongly in the eye of the beholder. I guarantee you that someone with opposite views to yours sees the opposite bias on HN. This obviously doesn't vary with HN, but it does vary with the perceiver—specifically with the perceiver's beliefs and their intensity. It comes down to sample bias and other cognitive biases. Even the most perfectly even-handedly moderated site (which I'm not saying HN is!) would get all the same perceptions and accusations.
- alecco 9y agoSignificant time? I don't recall it that way. Had to find them via algolia.
- curtis 9y agoThey might have been discoverable via the "comments" link (lots of active comments still going on) well after the stories have dropped off the front page. I have also been checking the Algolia "Last 24h" view to find flagged discussions that I missed, however.
- chippy 9y agoI found most of these threads via comments and active.
