  Flagging is used by large groups to keep "politics" off the front page. You'll find lots of interesting discussions on https://news.ycombinator.com/active https://news.ycombinator.com/active that people would like to discuss but has been de-weighted or flag-removed

    Oh wow, thanks for sharing! I've been targeted with downvotes when ever the subject is Russian crimes against humanity, but I didn't know it had that range. Now a lot of things make sense!

    Oh, this is excellent! I had no idea the feature existed, and it should make a splendid basis for tooling to help identify those who always seem to find themselves at the center of discussions adding much heat and no light.
