It's really not their problem though, is it. Because there are 2 fixes:
* do nothing and have fake news etc everywhere.
* make it much much harder for users to submit material
Both of those have serious impacts on us. So it's our problem really isn't it?
Before you reply, ask yourself: would I pay a dollar to reply? If the answer is no, you can't really expect YC to spend money on "discernment" for every thread/article/text post can you?
- mkr-hn 5y agoHN at least has a mod who I assume is paid who'll hear you out if you think something was removed/flag killed without merit.
- afarrell 5y agoYep, and I’m sure dang has silenced some people talking about [what they perceived as] human right abuses because that poster was [in dang’s subjective judgement] talking in a way that harmed the health of the community. I stick around this forum because I trust dang’s subjective judgement to be broadly wise. Partly because this is because the one time they chastised me I re-read my comment, gave it a second thought, and concluded “yep, thats easily-misinterpreted enough that someone with broader context on the overall health of this forum should remove it.”

- LatteLazy 5y agoYeah, then what? Either more censorship or less, neither will be the discernment you want. This issue has no practical solution.
