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.
