Absurd. There is an identically titled article from election night 2016, for Trump. HN has consistently carried water for Trump by allowing a small number of HNers to flag Trump critical articles, for four years. Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201

I won't deny that HN as a whole has a conservative tilt (edit: at least in who's willing to flag and downvote), but I've always found dang's rulings on stuff fair and reasonable. We'll probably get a thread at some point with a stickied reminder to chill out. edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967 You're on the right one!

  Flag abuse and the lack of transparency about it by moderators is one of the worst features of HN.

  I seriously doubt HN has a "conservative tilt". People on this site generally try to call the good for the good and the bad for the bad, regardless of party.
