And as you can downvote a comment so HN is self-regulating.

- GaryBluto 11mo agoI have showdead enabled and I haven't seen anything particularly vitriolic on this post. One troll comment maybe, but that's it. I think it's a mistake to imply that just because a comment is dead because it was flagged that it is hateful. The vouch button exists for a reason.
- latexr 11mo ago> I think it's a mistake to imply that just because a comment is dead because it was flagged that it is hateful. I wish people would stop inventing arguments and “reading between the lines” when interpreting comments from people they don’t know. There was no implication. Whatever you think you read is only in your head. Of course not every flagged and dead comment is hateful. But hateful comments do get flagged so that’s where you’ll find them.
- tb_technical 11mo agoI'm about to do what you just asked people not to do. Perhaps, we're so used to dishonest interlocutors online that we search for intentions in people's statements? Sorry, I had to.
