Whenever you see a post about “what did China do again today”, it has lots of up-votes but what a surprise it is not in the front page. Looks like dictatorship lovers are flagging these posts?
- vkou 6y agoPeople who hate the constant flamewars about China are probably flagging these posts. I've yet to see a single thread that's even tangentially related to the country not devolve into nationalistic tug-of-war.
- tirrex 6y agoThere are pro-china posts with same discussions under them but nobody flags these posts. This is not specific to hn, a common thing you can see on other platforms. This is unacceptable, feels like censorship spreading from China to my home and it must be called out.
- vkou 6y agoIf you think HN has a pro-China bias, make some posts that express pro-China ideas, and see what happens to your karma.
- tirrex 6y agoI’m just saying pro-China guys good at flagging posts which criticize China. This doesn’t mean overall HN has a pro-China bias. You see posts praising China how did they achieve something about tech/production/organization etc with same flamewar comments under but nobody flags them and they reach first page, stay there as much as other non flagged posts.
