Nope. But if a topic's been done to death, or there's nothing truly new to be discussed about $topic, or it'll just result in "gnarrrr"-type posts, imma mash that button.
- johnea 2y agoSome examples of 2 today that I wanted to comment on: ----- Americans Are Trapped in an Algorithmic Cage https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/trump-administration-voter-perception/681598/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/trump-admi... Comments (flagged): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42985664 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42985664 My interest was in the asssumption that "Americans" are trapped, not really the specific target oof the authors article. This is a very current tech topic that is a valid source of discussion. ----- The Mars Dream Is Back — Here’s How to Make It Actually Happen https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-mars-dream-is-back-how-to-go https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-mars-dream-i... The comments were against the idea, and were rapidly flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42983262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42983262 Why should there be no discussion on theUS spending billions on human travel to Mars? ----- I still don't understand the reasoning. Others may have new perspectives and ideas that you don't anticipate.
