I have no data so I might be wrong,so let me apologize if my understanding of how HN works is wrong.(I know that some people flag stuff and the Dan will say it is not me , is you guys but this time i will undo the flags and give the article a change(what I do not see is how many garbage or good stuff gets flagged so maybe the good ones that get flagged are few compared to garbage, maybe I will never know)
So let me ask, in general we have a page where we are encouraged to upvote good articles and discouraged to flag things we do not agree or a mediocre how can the system prevent that the flag is not abused by the minority that flags things they just disagree.
I don't want to HN employee, it is a big site and there is probably a lot of issues that need to be checked and addressed, my point initially was that HN is better then FB but there could be better system there.
My favorite so far is a Star Trek related subreddit, the rules are clear and enforced. For example no meme, jokes or lazy comment or submissions are allowed, you are encouraged to either report or educate people that are not respecting the rules. It did not generated a bubble relative to the topic, and the memes,jokes and filth has it's own subbreddits and you have the big subbreddit where most everything is allowed.
