quite an impactful and unusual event -- this post should _not_ be flagged
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI've started going to the "new" section for HN instead of the front page to catch the news before it's flagged.
- minimaxir 2y agoI read /new more often than the main page nowadays (not just due to flags on political stories, but it does give a better picture of what's relevant rather than the survivorship bias of the front page)
- BJones12 2y agoMaybe you should try reading a mainstream news site or news aggregator instead
- echoangle 2y agoIs there a good one with comments for discussion? Closest thing I can think of is reddit and you know how that is with politics.

- jauntywundrkind 2y agoI have long loved https://hckrnews.com https://hckrnews.com for the chronological timeline, but the trail of [dead] across the timeline has been jaw dropping & horrifying to see & so so visible here. A top tier concern of our age is disinformation & propoganda. The lies are absurd & out of control. But denial of information is also a huge issue, and the ability of a couple few to suppress & deny here is remarkable. I'm so glad there's this timeline based site, showing what's really happening & the many many things denied.
- GeoAtreides 2y agoI recommend: https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/ set for top stories for the last 24 hours it's the best homepage for HN, shows all stories, flagged and flamed stories too
- archagon 2y agoI treat http://news.ycombinator.com/active http://news.ycombinator.com/active as the real front page. Flagged discussions show up there.

- freen 2y agoWasn’t the excuse that Elon is autistic? Wait till he finds out what the Nazis did to autistic people. Why is it so hard to just say “Nazis suck, I hate Nazis”…

- hayst4ck 2y agoHave you seen the summer AI school advertisement at the bottom of the home page? It mentions that Elon will be there. The conflict of interest is pretty clear. Not to mention the recent post about YC boss-ware that du-humanizes laborers. Capitalists/industrialists are generally pro-nazi at an ideology level.
- ok_dad 2y agoThey’re surprised because they don’t understand the history of tech and fascism. IBM was responsible for ensuring the Holocaust went off efficiently as hell. Now Elon Musk has access to American’s most closely held data, I wonder how that’s going to go. At this point, I’m just waiting for them to round folks up, and preparing.
- fallinditch 2y agoWow I was not aware of that. It's understandable that some personal biases may creep in to the moderation processes, and I believe that this is a much preferable situation than allowing it to devolve into an unmoderated forum. I assume that Elon the Nazi is too inflammatory for an HN discussion subject, where the emphasis should be on polite discussion of nerdy subjects, as per the guidelines. As an aside: I posted a link about accelerationism (a worthy HN topic methinks) but it had the word 'capitalism' in the title and got flagged - it is a well produced and thought provoking video by the way [1], and not partisan-political at all.
