Everything vaguely anti-Trump/Putin gets flagged here now. Does the flagging hide it from any feeds, though?

  The default feed, yes. That's the incentive to flag stuff you don't agree with. It basically tanks the possibility of the story making the front page.

    Another good reason to read via an rss feed.

      Or just using https://news.ycombinator.com/active https://news.ycombinator.com/active Like most people seem to have moved to.

    I (sort of) understand the idea of flagging stuff you disagree with but still struggle to understand why people apply it here. I would seem to me that whether you're in favor or against Anduril (i.e if you care at all), you would probably want to see this information.

      > I (sort of) understand the idea of flagging stuff you disagree with that's not what flagging is for; just don't upvote if you don't like it flagging is intentionally trying to make it more difficult for other users to see it

        Right. It's not that I agree with this idea, I just understand it
