Turns out it doesn't say that content has to be or even should be in english.
But it does have a few things to say about the kind of comment you've left.
- nsonha 5y agoso because it's not a rule then we should post things in non-English? If you honestly believe so then do that. People asked me why didn't I focus on the actual project instead of the language, yet they focus on the tone of my comment and not the actual point I'm trying to make.
- vidarh 5y agoPost in other languages, and voting will take care of whether people are fine with that or not. Translation tools are good enough that this is not a big problem.
- nsonha 5y agoThat's like saying do spam people because spam filter exists
- vidarh 5y agoNo, it's like saying that the measure of whether or not something belongs on HN is whether or not people vote it up. That this article has done as well as it has is all the proof that is necessary that it belongs here. Consider that, combined with the fact your first comment upstream was flagged, as a pretty strong indicator of what HN thinks about this, though your use of "woke" probably did not help matters either.
- dang 5y agoIt's not in the guidelines but HN is an English-language site and we do ask people to submit articles in English: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20english-language%20site&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
