One example from yesterday of “what can’t be said”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42630197 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42630197 or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42630067 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42630067 Or let’s say, it technically can be said, but you get somehow punished (flagged, downvoted, etc) so you learn not to do it anymore. The incentive is simply not there. There is a logic, the “community” flags to protect their own interests (financial investments, friends working there, etc). And since the community is from the same group, they defend the same interests. The more freely we can talk about a topic, the more genuine and thought-provoking interactions it can create (without intentionally hurting the others obviously). If you filter too much, you get this LinkedIn-bullshit and it makes a message board super boring, as you live in a closed bubble.
