Speaking personally, I flag the political posts and not the AI posts because the political posts always turn into flame wars. AI posts do not, so I leave them be (even though I don't personally like them).
- -__---____-ZXyw 2y agoHmmm. Is there a statement of HN policy somewhere about that? Or is this just a thing you decided to do on your own accord? No judgment, just curious. I presume you've reflected on the idea that one person's flame war is another person's gentle exchange of opinion. I can see what you're saying though, and I have seen discussions where I've thought "oook, don't really understand what these people think they're achieving", but I wouldn't say I've seen anything horrendous. I mean, individual horrific comments get quickly flagged to death. Why bother flagging the whole topic? Why not simply not investigate those threads?
