- paulette449 3y agoIndeed. Well, not to take away from the moderation team.
- etc-hosts 3y agowell to be fair, the Mission Local story from 3 days ago about Tan tweeting Tupac lyrics, was posted 3 days ago and flagged 3 days ago. This story's lede is several San Francisco Board Of Supervisors members receiving post cards quoting Garry Tan's words. Different story.
- soneca 3y agoThe same story (different source) was also flagged today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39199703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39199703
- ecf 3y agoIn a lot of ways censorship here is worse than other places due to the weirdly attributed trust given towards HN members who think of themselves as enlightened intellectuals. For example, try to post something pro Apple, or even try to play devils advocate. Your comment will be flagged within minutes.
- subtra3t 3y agoI think in most regards HN actually has a pretty favourable opinion of Apple, at least when compared to, say, Google or Microsoft.
