It’s a VC backed forum, there’s a bias towards a population that looks down on the poor and fetishizes wealth.
It’s not everyone or even a majority but because of the VC backing it’s going to be more than the general population
- Steven420 1y agoAre you suggesting that hn is removing comment's/post's that don't look down on the poor or fetishize wealth? I'm not sure how hn being vc backed has any influence on how I or anyone else here comments
- bryzaguy 1y agoIt sounds like parent comment is suggesting that hn attracts a demographic of people who look down on the poor and fetishize wealth, not that it's suppressing posts or trying to influence comments.
- lovich 1y agoThat was correct, I was commenting on the input demographics to the community, not on moderation activities
- owebmaster 1y agoYou don't need to remove content when you can let the users flag and downvote what "doesn't belong to" HN
