People keep moving the goalposts and it never ends up making sense. The fact of the matter is that HN has moderation which people enjoy. You can't come in here talking about whatever you want, however you want. The same goes for Twitter. Trying to split them apart by size, audience or whatever is meaningless.
- overrun11 5y agoPeople like the moderation policies of Hacker News but not the ones of Twitter. This isn't some grand hypocrisy.
- jrsj 5y agoHN has generally good & reasonable moderation and isn’t engaged in blatant political censorship, it’s not that complicated.
- ece 5y agoHN is a fraction of Twitter's size, and moderation isn't going to scale linearly. I doubt anybody, including Elon could really solve this problem apart from taking the reddit approach.
