> Should I go public with the story about the time I was told I can’t be promoted for being a white man? > Fuck it, This happened at Google That company is an absolute trash can dumpster fire That is the whole thing?! I HAD to assume there was more. There is no context. Its an irate outcry. I stand by my flag. There is nothing here to discuss as there is no information provided besides someone saying "I didn't get promoted because I am white". That may or may not be true, but this is too vague to talk about here.

That’s the whole statement right there and it’s akin to many other linked but unflagged X posts: brief and without much context. If you want to see the context, you start digging. That’s how this stuff works, not only for my link. But I see, now it’s not the paywall anymore, now it’s something else entirely.

  No, the submission should provide the context. Also, this is not the whole statement like you just said. I know that because you posted other tweets from this user on this subject. You said this was the primary source... where do I go to get more information? Nowhere until he releases his story and not a teaser.

    This is not the standard being applied to many Tweets/X Posts. But you have the power over me and my posts on this platform, so have it your way.

      I don't have power over you and it is not that serious. I am just trying to inform you why some people might flag something like this. There is no reason to argue with me with my explanation over my reason for flagging. It is my subjective opinion. You are entitled to yours, just as the rest of the community. Enough others appear to agree and have flagged. I know it can suck when there are a bunch of downvotes or flags without explanation. But at the same time, this is why people don't explain themselves. It is not worth it. I've now given over 15 minutes of my day to this when I could have ignored it all. I would have been better for it. You continue to cast yourself as a victim over this nonsense.

        Well, it’s of course not important to you, since you are not being unfairly suppressed. I’ve grown sensitive to this kind of stuff, since it has exploded over the recent years and it has a clear bias. Anyhow, fair point about your time. Thank you! I still have no idea how flagging works, thought you are the one person who flagged the post and thus removed it from the home page. Btw, I am the victim in this case, wouldn’t you agree? You know why? As you can see in my first comment to this story I did some research on what is allowed on this platform, and I also think this post is at home here due to this being Google and given the target audience. But at the same time, I now know much better, that this is a strongly biased place, so I already adjusted my expectations. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39477929 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39477929
