Oh, this definitely seems very useful.
But, the immediate reflex on HN is to downvote such tools into oblivion. When I 'vouched' for this submission, it was flagged, I assume for immediate deletion.
It's quite interesting that 'free speech' advocates are so, eh, limited in what they actually consider to be such...
- irthomasthomas 5y agoYeah, I think this is the first Ukraine story that has survived more than 30 minutes on the front page, so, well done!
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoI think that the data part has probably helped to avoid the flamewars (for some reason).
- tekknik 5y agoWhat are you 3 actually on about? Something about free speech and tools? Care to explain for those who have no idea what’s going on here?
- irthomasthomas 5y agoUkraine conflict stories have mostly been quickly flagged and down ranked. To minimise virtual tensions and conflict, here on HN. This link is essentially a collection of Ukraine conflict news, so it too was flagged. However, this site is also an interesting techy tool, besides. And enough people vouched for it that it got some hang time on the front page.
- tekknik 5y agoThanks for explaining that!
