Why is this flagged? How can this be unflagged?
- fortran77 3y agoProbably because they allow free speech and that bothers some people. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33226944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33226944 where Nearly Free Speech is recommended as a hosting site for controversial content. Of course, they're not really Free Speech. That explains their name "Nearly Free Speech". They say in their terms that they don't allow "racist" content, for example. (I don't like racist content either, for the record.)
- mitchbob 3y agoWould love for people flagging to have to give the reason.
- at_a_remove 3y agoIndeed. I think that downvotes and flags out to require reasoning, more so than agreement. Agreement is in some sense congruency. "Me, too!" But something can be incongruent, wrong, unpalatable, slightly off in so many more ways than something can be correct, like having to show your work in answering a physics problem: where did it go astray?
