Yes there is a difference and despite that difference it's still a dictatorship. The thing is, whatever Dang says goes. That's the definition of dictatorship.

I think you just agree with him. Dang is a dictator whose policies you agree with, but ultimately you have no say in anything.
- fuzzfactor 5y agoNo, I do not always agree with the moderators or their entire approach. I do recognize this is nothing like a democracy, and the less like a democracy the more you have no say in anything. But it still ends up a better place so that's what counts to me, and I highly appreciate the effort that goes in and the creativity seen when difficult things are handled way better than could be expected otherwise.

So you don't agree, but you feel despite your disagreement it makes HN a better place. So in a sense, you agree that his decisions are for the better. Ultimately you didn't contradict anything I said. It is a dictatorship. You just agree with the outcome of his policies. We can caveat that with the fact you may not agree with individual policies but you agree with the overall outcome.
