I get were you are coming from, but what I'm trying to say is: when someone considered evil by us (in the west) dies, would you hold the same standards? I respect what you do, and I know is super hard. I don't mean to be toxic or anything, just pointing out what I feel is important.
- dang 4y agoI'm not entirely sure what you mean, but since you asked above if we "ban people commenting on how bad russians are", the answer is sure: nationalistic flamebait is not welcome on HN and we ask people to stop doing it and ban them if they don't stop doing it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20nationalist&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... Banning vs. just scolding depends on what else the account has done on HN, but we don't moderate differently depending on the country people are talking about—or at least we try not to. Needless to say, that particular case is complicated by the war, but commenters can make their substantive points about that without attacking any ethnic group.
