    Hey dang, can flags be reversed here?

      sadly reversing the flagging isn't cutting it. The article went to the front page on a Sunday and it may not make it e.g. during the week. Neither will unflagging bring back the attention. I think ycombinator, as huge of a tech institution it has become, owes it to its engaged community to create more transparency. It must not be where a loud minority can flag and censor the rest of the platform. As anyone else, I'd like to take part in the discourse here. Be that when I talk about pro crypto stuff or when I have strong opinions. And frankly, the software running HN is currently not achieving it. Sure: You can claim HN as your own and shed responsibility or the need for transparency. But one incident at a time users like me will stop posting here and your echo chamber will add reverb. I doubt this platform is still capable of creating the discourse for the next billion dollar start ups.
