HN, like any subreddit, has inherent bias in its moderation. I suspect the fact that Russia was involved prompted the removal of the other story -- if I were a moderator, I would just expect any thread involving Russia and international politics to be a dumpster fire. Finland is a bit easier for Americans to avoid passionate political opinions with.
- hos234 7y agoI would like a left vote/right vote. Would be interesting to see the posts where both counts cancel under a Header of Neutral (non polarizing) content. Similarly content(posts AND comments) getting "high" left and right counts can be sent off under separate Headers for the respective fan clubs to feast on.
- wayoutthere 7y agoI mean, you've effectively described Facebook's news feed so I don't think HN needs to build it.
- dang 7y agoModerators didn't do anything to either that submission or this one. Users flagged them. I did change the title on this one to match what the article currently says; that's all.
- mellosouls 7y agoFwiw The original title as I recall also reflected the title of the article (which seems to have changed since I submitted it); I clipped the "Finnish" prefix as it exceeded HN permitted length.
- dang 7y agoNo worries, and yup, I had a feeling that happened. (That's why I said "currently".)
