I feel if you want that type of discussion you should go to a 'social media' site to get it. Not expect this forum to turn into a social media site.

- effingwewt 6y agoOh sweet, Summer Child. HN is most certainly social media, the first message boards were as well. If HN was the bastion for civil discourse we all pretend it is, there would be no issue having these discussions. Rules here are bent constantly, not to blame dang, it needs to be done, but when rules are bent for Trump threads and they get ugly, we deal with it, but we are told George Floyd being murdered is 'too hot to handle'. Yes, users flag but as Dan has said repeatedly they can adjust flagging weight and/or stop them from removing posts from top/active.
