The moderator dang has actually responded to several comments about their editorial stance re israel-palestine. I don't have time to find them but I've engaged with him personally on this several times over the last couple years.
Basically it boils down to he thinks we have talked about it enough and it annoys him how upset people are about it. And ultimately he considers admiring the technology used in war machines (and terrorism like the pager attack) to be clearly within the editorial remit of HN but that discussing their effects on the people they are used on is borderline so they police it more vigorously.
- ath3nd 1y agoAh, they are annoyed that people are upset about the genocide and keep talking about it. Very interesting. Well, that's their right, of course, annoyed that people are not closing their eyes to blatant human rights violations and genocide. I will keep calling it out for what it is: Israel is a genocider state, until it's stopped.
- Schmerika 1y agoYSK that people get banned here for calling Israel out. It will be claimed that it's over something else, to maintain plausible deniability. Or that you were starting a flame war. I'm just saying: this is one of HN's most protected third-rail topics, so I'd advise you to have a backup account and a VPN handy if you want to keep stating the obvious and standing up for the voiceless.
