What is your strategy? Some obvious wishes would be - organic fact-based journalism, free from narrative manipulation - transparent security to protect individual sources, is the instance accessible? can extremely precise/leaky details, like timestamps be clamped? or even perhaps tools to thwart stylometry - facilitating and amplifying quality discourse - novel UX - does "read aloud" work on the page - permalink integrity, can the backend meaningfully serve the postings for a decade or so? - facilitating reporting, citizen/snapmap model this, except maybe in terms of osint data Also,... serif?

        Comments have fairly stringent expectations compared to other sites, consider conforming more carefully to the guidelines[0], and you can post whatever you like. Not to be accusatory, but undersubstantiated hot-takes are frowned upon, because they don't result in productive conversation. Think debate / examine, rather than protest, basically.

        I think calling attention to WaPo being owned by the world's richest man ought to be in bounds, though. It's not really a hot take.

        Baselessly claiming that it's pushing an agenda for that reason might not be (I think it's an acceptable comment, even though wrong). But I really doubt any poster was getting banned for that. A lot of us on here shoot stuff from the hip on hot button issues, on all sides of them, and aren't getting banned for it. His account(s) must be getting banned for some other reason, if his claim is true.

        Who cares about narrative? We're just here for interesting discussion. The problem is that ideological battle comments are predictable and therefore tedious, and evoke worse from others. When accounts use HN primarily for that, we ban them, because if we didn't, the entire site would be taken over by such stuff. It's the same regardless of which ideology or narrative the account is subscribing to—it's just as boring and destructive whichever way. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    This is the same Washington Post that published an article[0] claiming "Shark Week" is racist, right? Sounds like a political agenda. [0] https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/05/shark-week-diversity-study/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/05/shark-week-...

      Excuse me the Washington Post was just reporting on what scientists said. Therefore if you question or mock this you are an anti-science racist. I mean who else but shark-adjacent racists would come up with the name "Great White"?
