Will you be doing anything to handle the brigading that is happening?
- dang 4y agoInternet users are much too quick (like, orders of magnitude too quick) to jump to conclusions about things like that. That's why the site guidelines ask people not to post suspicions without evidence, like you did here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063442 ... but rather to email us at hn@ycombinator.com if they think they're seeing manipulation or abuse. We're happy to look at the data in such cases. I can tell you from long experience, though, that in threads on divisive topics, the Occamesque explanation is almost always adequate.
