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".
