- Rinzler89 2y agoI don't have the feeling it's being moderated at all at the curent time. Plenty of comments calling out Trump voters as Nazi, bigots, fascists and misogynists here are not flagged/removed while other comments explaining why democrats lost do get flagged. Regardless of ones feelings towards the Orange Man and his voters (over half the country!) you shouldn't be able break HN ToS and get away with it. So either moderation efforts are being overwhelmed (hats off to Dang) or HN is heavily politically biased from the userbase to moderation team.
- dang 2y agoModeration efforts are always overwhelmed in the sense that it's impossible for us to read everything that gets posted, if even 10% of it. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=likeliest%20explanation%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
- isoprophlex 2y agoMaybe this is the containment zone, an unmoderated section on the front page, one place that is actually about the elections where we can rage a bit and get it out of our systems... Which doesn't seem too bad in terms of everyone getting an outlet to process things one way or another, and keeping the rest of the front page clean.

- beretguy 2y agoYeah, I want to voice opinions but I don't want to add to Dang's pile of work even more.
