What a load of bullshit. "Anyone who thinks users are flagging this submission in deliberate bad faith must also believe xyz conspiracy theory"
- notavalleyman 3y agoThe user I was replying to wrote > This kind of discussion is suppressed on HN Typically people wouldn't use "suppressed" to mean: "there are disconnected users of this website who are, without coordination, independently flagging this submission in deliberate bad faith". Typically "suppression" would refer to a coordinated deliberate act. So I was simply replying to the most common interpretation of the user's words. I understood them to be saying that a deliberate (and not accidental) attempt is being made to prevent "this kind of discussion" from happening.
