I might be wrong but that doesn’t have anything to do with Dang moderation does it? Getting downvoted is up to the users and if the majority of the user base is made of people with a certain ideological leaning then that leaning will inevitably show up in the discussions and in the downvotes.
I don’t think it’s up to Dang to correct that.
HN can both be a very well moderated network AND one that doesn’t allow for a certain type of discussions because of the up/down vote system. Both things can be true at the same time.
- petodo 4y agoUsers are also abusing flagging feature to bury opinions they don't like and that's clearly something he can control. He is also banning users (like me) from submitting articles with "You are posting too fast" BS instead saying honestly "You are banned from submitting articles because XX", while I can post comments without any issues.
- manuelmoreale 4y agoI honestly don’t know if the “you’re posting too fast” is something applied manually or an automated system built into HN so I’m not going to comment on that. I do know that I only had to deal personally with dang once and it was a very enjoyable experience. As for user abusing flagging, again, that’s up to the users. It’s not up to dang to override what most users do I believe.
- Razengan 4y ago> It’s not up to dang to override what most users do My guy, that is literally what moderation is.
- manuelmoreale 4y agoNo it is not. Not in my opinion. But if you have a different opinion on what a moderator should do that’s ok.
