    Users with high enough karma can also vouch for flagged posts, though anything involving politics will usually get mass flagged as soon as anyone does that.
    • viraptor 2y ago
      Not in this case. The post was marked as flagged, but likely by staff, with no vouch option.

  I mean I sort of get it. HN isn't really the place for discussing this (ref. HN Guidelines[1]), and judging by the past two weeks, the Trump administration will do something as discussion-worthy as this at least every day for the next 4 years. If each such instance gets a thread here, it will be pretty bad for Hacker News, an Eternal September-like event.

Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

  I don't find this kind of article interesting or novel (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), specially as someone outside the US.
