Are you serious? Was this article really just FLAGGED? Was it flagged just because the article mildly criticises Hacker News and it's moderators for not having enough diversity?
- golf3 6y agoIt's clickbait.
- RHSeeger 6y agoI don't agree with what some of what the article says, but it certainly doesn't seem like clickbait. It appears to be an honest expression of someone's opinion and attempt to help others navigate shortcomings they see with HN.
- curation 6y agoWhat you call clickbait is something I think about _every_ time I visit this site - years and years. Your experience online is as gendered as mine is - it's just that your perspective is normal and mine is abstracted to 'clickbait'.
- thereyougo 6y agoI think that it's enough several community members flag a post in order for it to become irreversible. Then only a mod can probably unflag the post.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoI didn't flag it, but I suspect it was flagged by users for the same reason Melissa recommends: "Don’t click on threads that discuss gender unless you’re prepared to wade through crap"
