- dang 6y agoIf you do this kind of ugly thing on HN we will ban you. Would you please review the site guidelines and stop using HN for political and/or ideological battle? It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- Gibbon1 6y agoYou going to ban me for posting things that are true?
- onetimemanytime 6y agoso out of a billion true things in the world, you just randomly chose this one? What does it show, other than one person might have done the wrong thing?
- Gibbon1 6y agoZurkerburg has been sucking up to politician whose political base and operatives are antisemites. Just pointing out this is something with lot of bad historical precedent.
- z9e 6y agoSo half the country is antisemitic, and Trump supporting Israel is as well? Keep this garbage on Reddit & Twitter please.
- dang 6y ago"It's just facts" is the defense most beloved of trolls, but it's a fallacy. I recently wrote about this in a comment about something else (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23284949 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23284949). Here's the relevant bit: Ditto for the oldie-but-goodie, "It's a fact. What problem can you possibly have with facts?" - as if a fact were a fish that catches itself and serves itself for dinner. There are infinitely many facts and they don't select themselves, as I often tell HN users who make this argument: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20infinitely%20many%20facts&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Sure it's a fact—and language has multiple levels of meaning. It's common to attack on one level and then switch to another level to defend. It's never just a fact. What the fact is being used for, and what other facts are left out, are just as relevant.
- Gibbon1 6y agoThe uncomfortable fact is Zurkerburg appears to be trying to make allies of people that normal Jewish people find really really queasy. And it not trolling to bring that up. Especially as a response to an article discussing both Zurkerberg and that person.
- Craighead 6y agoSo then delete it Dang. I've seen you take more action on lesser rule violations.
- dang 6y agoThis is standard HN moderation. What exactly have you seen? We don't delete things outright on HN unless the author asks us to (there have been perhaps half a dozen exceptions to that in the 13 years and 23M posts of the site, usually for legal reasons). The most we would do is 'kill' a post, which means anyone with 'showdead' set to 'yes' in their profile can still read it. The GP post was actually in that state because of user flags, but I unkilled it in order to reply. When I do that, I usually leave the comment unkilled as a courtesy to users who don't have 'showdead', so they can see what I was replying to.
- mcrae 6y agoCorrection for the title, Trump actually called Zuckerberg and not the other way around: > Later that day, Trump phoned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During the call, Zuckerberg "expressed concerns about the tone and the rhetoric," according to a source familiar with the call.
- DeonPenny 6y agoBlame twitter for that. They started didn't start with trump. They started one with the government that regulates them.
