I mostly agree, but there is a better justification for HN's rule, offered by its mods: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=by:dang%20astroturfing&sort=byDate&dateRan

I mostly agree, but there is a better justification for HN's rule, offered by its mods: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=by:dang%20astroturfing&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=by:dang%20astroturfing&sort=by..., I think it's not as perverse as you think.

> there is a better justification for HN's rule I'm aware of that. I wasn't talking about the justification but the outcome. I'm certain dang and sctb don't want the propaganda here either; my point regarding the HN rules is that the well-intentioned policy ends up protecting propaganda. They have a real problem; the propagandists are gaming their system of civility.
