"Freenode removes rule about media trading, game modding, warez, porn, antisocial behavior, and hate speech" would've been fine. From the HN guidelines: Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Frankly it also comes close to running afoul of the off-topic rule regarding politics.
- fulafel 5y agoPolitical content is allowed, if relevant to HN topics. The guidelines just say "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon" meaning that most stories about general politics are off topic, which is common sense.
- ImPostingOnHN 5y agoEditorializing means adding your own commentary beyond the facts. In this case, there is no commentary added to the fact that Freenode removed the hate speech rule.
