Huh? dang works for YC/HN and is the (only?) moderator of this forum. He’s literally paid to flag posts.

    You're telling me you've been on this site since 2016 and have been unaware of his role here?

      Yes? I took this to be a general discussion site like reddit, but for technical news of interest to nerds and assumed that there is some kind of community based decision making process when it comes to disputed context. My bad, let me spread the word to anyone who might be similarly confused. Again, not acting entitled, people should just know if their content will be evaluated by a single guy or a community and invest or not invest their time accordingly. Like these days, if you post on Twitter/X you know it's up to Elon Musk of your post stays up. Sounds like a similar situation here. People who want more democratic decision making should probably research where that is available.

        Hey - I'm sorry it wasn't clear that I was posting as a mod (or even that I am a mod here). It's true that HN can be a bit cryptic and there are a surprising number of users who have been here for years and have no idea that the site is even moderated at all. In any case, you're welcome here and I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
