I found this article via https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/ and immediately knew, that I would see the flagged mark.
Is this because readers don’t want to be reminded how absurd the world outside has become?
- Karawebnetwork 1y agoWhat does [flagged] mean? Users flagged the post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on HN. Moderators sometimes also add [flagged] (though not usually on submissions), and sometimes turn flags off when they are unfair.
- spacemadness 1y agoGo ahead and see with your own eyes what a lot of HN commenters really think about other humans. It’s pretty plain to see and very sad. They’re the folks flagging everything.
- arunabha 1y agoNo, the flagging brigade on HN is largely composed of a small minority of ultra right wing tech bros who had their wet dream come true when Trump got elected again. Also, HN's algorithms have been set up to encourage and abet such behaviour and then blame the 'algorithm'. Not surprising given who owns this site.
