Section 230 hasn't changed or been revoked or anything, so, from what I understand, manual moderation is perfectly fine, as long as that is what it is: moderation. What the ruling says is that "recommended" content and personalised "for you" pages are themselves speech by the platform, rather than moderation, and are therefore not under the purview of Section 230. For HN, Dang's efforts at keeping civility don't interfere with Section 230. The part relevant to this ruling is whatever system takes recency and upvotes, and ranks the front page posts and comments within each post.
