Do you get flagged often by the bad actors? Because after a decade being on here the only things that get flagged are the worst of the worst. The two mods are pretty good about it. This makes me wonder why you’re so worried.
- kcplate 3y agoRarely flagged, but when it happens it’s often by someone overly upset about some comment that was not a completely mainstream opinion (but not extreme either) that I made on some innocuous topic that they feel the need to be the zealous self-appointed content police. However, I see it nearly daily because I consume HN using a feed reader and don’t rely on the HN homepage at all. So in my list of HN stories I see nothing flagged in my reader and will often pull up a post that should be totally appropriate for HN and hardly controversial at all just to see it now flagged and every so often interesting commentary completely shut down. But I am not worried, because if this site gets to the point where we see these self-appointed censors make this place an uninteresting I’ll just move on.
