- bringen 2y agoAnd just like last time, the authors are trying to convince their supporters to manipulate the discussion on HN. https://mastodon.social/@report_press/113306313558293261 https://mastodon.social/@report_press/113306313558293261 We can already see the influence of this in the comments on this post.

- chipotle_coyote 2y agoGiven that much of the tone of the discussion here is not only dismissive of the report but the link has been actively suppressed via flagging, I don't think it's credible to argue there is some kind of organized anti-RMS "manipulation" happening here. (I don't think there's some kind of organized pro-RMS manipulation happening, either. I think there's a fairly large segment of HN readers who minimize credible reports of RMS's reprehensible behavior because of his past accomplishments and his importance to the free software movement.)
- bringen 2y agoTurn on "showdead" and look how many comments critical of the report have been flagged. That strongly indicates an organized suppression of dissenting views.
- arp242 2y agoMany are of no substance, or worse. One of them is an unhinged conspiratorial rant about COINTELPRO. Another starts with an insult against the author of this page. There's a transphobic rant. etc. I went through all of them; there is only one that I would "vouch worthy" and should not be flagged (the one that links to stallmansupport.org), so I vouched that one. All the others I've seen should be flagged, not because they're "critical of the report", but because they're garbage.
