HN is just heavily moderated. It’s the same dumpster fire as the rest of the internet, just with dang’s yay/nay filter applied.

- grapescheesee 5y agoIt also is important to point out how much self censorship exist on HN. It can be interpreted as tact, group think, civility, and so on. Personal restraint has vanished more and more in the last few years. Many here would argue it is a result of social media platforms.
- wayoutthere 5y agoI know I don’t self-censor (which has gotten me a scolding and some comments removed) so it’s not just self-censorship. I don’t begrudge it because all moderation is necessarily editorial, just realize what HN is and who owns it.
