What about that a small minority of people (moderators, like you) can kill posts and threads that they dislike for ideological reasons?

- dang 8y agoWe don't kill posts for ideological reasons, though ideologically passionate readers sometimes feel that we do.
- kazinator 8y agoYou may not be killing posts due to picking sides within the debates, but the vision of how HN should be is a kind of ideology, and steering it toward that form is enforcement of that ideology.
- dang 8y agoThat's a pretty nuanced academic point compared to "HN is run by right-wing groupthink" or "HN is run by SJWs", which is the level I'm talking about. The answer to both of those is no.
