Flagging is definitely getting abused more on HN lately. The consensus seems to be that politics and/or morals are irrelevant outside of personal affairs so we must not have these conversations here.
- soraminazuki 1y agoWhich is absurd because the hostile takeover of RubyGems primarily involves technology, with serious implications for the security and trust of nearly all Ruby code. Those flagging this submission are the ones prioritizing politics over this critical issue.
