The community decides what appears on this site. What is your basis for censoring things that you find personally objectionable?

I think your first sentence directly answers your second one.

The community decided that both these stories that were rising in popularity are quickly removed and flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37146373 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37146373 Hmmm

  The community also includes moderators such as Dang, as well as various automated systems that act on behalf of the encoded norms. This is a fairly well known aspect of HN?

    hmm ok im familiar with Dang and for a bit there I thought maybe these sites where these stories are ... are conspiracy theorist sites. Though here is the same story on ABC's Good Morning America in which the Govenor of Hawaii is addressing and speaking on the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsvAf-1rsI4&t=32s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsvAf-1rsI4&t=32s Though Maybe it's just not a Hacker News topic but it should be as it's interesting and it needs to be spread for the sake of those poor people who just lost everything!

The commentator is not a censor as they don’t have mod powers like dang, and telling people about the shiftiness of reputation is the first part of deliberation. Now the community is talking about it.

Two things: 1.) The Post Millennial is a Canadian publication. If you’re not Canadian (and keenly aware of the media landscape) they could look like a legitimate source. 2.) Do I look like dang? I have zero mod powers this ‘censor’ is an example of using too much word. I used my knowledge in #1 to inform a community whose quality I care about. Have a nice day.
