I'm guessing Hacker News is safe because of the context and the small size. Other text-only forums I've moderated in the past have needed plenty of moderation for various horrible stuff that's been linked. And links we have on HN as well, but it doesn't get nowhere near as much misuse as I've seen in other text-only places.
- dragontamer 2y agoIs anyone around here posting unmoderated videos as part of the discussion? That's the thing: if a link comes from Facebook, YouTube or whatever, you know it's at least passed the first steps of moderation. I'd expect that constantly posting links to OnlyFans or other riskier sites will get you flagged or banned around here.
