The dystopia even extends to HN. This was near the top of the front page just half an hour ago, but now it's buried several pages away. Not for discussion, apparently.
I realize it was likely flagged, but burying anything controversial means that only vanilla topics will ever be discussed in any depth.
Yet the engineers who frequent HN and work at big tech companies are the ones who need to know about cases like this the most.
- defrost 1y ago> burying anything controversial means that only vanilla topics will ever be discussed in any depth. You place too much weight on reading the "front page" .. that's community and mod curated toward the core ethos of the site. HN has a wealth of ongoing in depth discussion of all manner of things that often don't make "front page", you can see these if you (say) browse or follow new comments or active threads * https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments * https://news.ycombinator.com/active https://news.ycombinator.com/active
