I don't want to dickride too much, but I feel like HN is decidedly less awful than most other discussion boards, in no small part because it has decent moderation. I do think that sometimes they're a bit too quick to flag something purely because it can be deemed "political", but for the most part I think that HN's moderation has been ok.

> > I feel like HN is decidedly less awful than most other discussion boards I agree, but that's unfortunately a very low bar these days. If we got rid of upvotes/downvotes (keep flagging privileges, but make it public record, and abuse-it-you-lose-it) the variety of thought and ideas on HN would 100x overnight.
