I'm not aware. If anything, I've seen a few cesspits and HN doesn't look like one. So, I'm surprised, and, naturally, would like to see a follow-up with more details.
Also, with all due respect, your comment reads aggressively, as an attack (my apologies if this wasn't intended as such), so I suspect you're going to get some strong reactions.
Just like that "if you're from HN you're bad, go away" banner. For what it's worth, I've also seen a few examples of groupthink bigotry, and I felt certain resemblance.

- jorvi 4y agoIf anything, I’ve seen HN be aggressively moderated in the opposite direction, where if you do something like point out men aren’t wholesale profiteers of modern society (pointing out suicide stats, education, often guilty until proven innocent & harsher sentences, etc) your comments get detached by dang.
- wolfgang42 4y ago> would like to see a follow-up with more details. Oversimplified summary of the complaint as I understand it: HN’s moderation policy is “thoughtful debate.” Marginalized groups do not appreciate their human rights being treated as being up for debate, politely or not.
- arp242 4y agoWhere are "human rights being treated as being up for debate"?
- FireInsight 4y agoI mostly read threads well after they've died down so I haven't seen it here, but I'd say for example anywhere not explicitly trans-friendly trans issues are debated by mis-informed cis people.
- arp242 4y agoI have seen people disagree on various aspects of that, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone argue that their "human rights" should be taken away, outside of some comments that are being downvoted to hell and flagged. "Mis-informed cis people" is quite a different thing than "human rights being treated as being up for debate".
