Why was this flagged
- AlbertCory 3y agoMore censorship, I guess.
- JamesBarney 3y agoBecause it's a culture way topic, which tend to end in flame wars which is what hacker news is trying to avoid.
- AlbertCory 3y agoand yet yesterday, a clearly partisan article in favor of unions, also a culture war topic, was not flagged.
- coding123 3y agoI thought the video he posted showed two extremely intelligent men that had a huge depth of the topic. It was one of the very best things I have seen in HN in years- besides LLMs of course.
- JamesBarney 3y agoSorry I'm not arguing the content is bad, there are lots of very intellectually satisfying and societally important topics that need to be debated and settled that are all culture war related. But hacker news has just decided that it's going to try stay away from most of the culture war topics because a lot of the debate (on the site) starts to devolve into flame wars and unproductive conversations.
