Sounds like you were posting about politics so the flagging was appropriate. You also were asking about TL;DRs which are explicitly not on-topic on HN. I'm not sure you've grasped the culture here to be honest. This one statement of yours crystallizes the bigger flaw in your perspective, though: "I could get referral into decent university through this about the fact that I have commented some deep things on Hackernews." You are over-valuing HN. A good comment here doesn't get you into college. A bad comment here doesn't change what your employees will think of you if you have some in the future. Overall, HN is not required to model itself to your desired topics and conversations. While it is a really decent place that many of us enjoy, it is still just a discussion board. And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it. If you don't like the moderation and truly feel wronged, email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com. BTW, Odds are this post will also get flagged because complaining about flagging is another topic that is not interesting.

> Sounds like you were posting about politics so the flagging was appropriate. You also were asking about TL;DRs which are explicitly not on-topic on HN. I'm not sure you've grasped the culture here to be honest. The person who first called me clanker called it on an AI related post not on a flag related post. The flag related post was where we were talking about the distrust and where I later posted about on and someone followed that comment but couldn't see the previous so he called me clanker again Although I admit that I may have mixed two of these flag and clanker stories but they are individually seperate (or that's how I intend it to be) Apologies if that wasn't clear. > You are over-valuing HN.

And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it. You are probably right but also, it's not only about these things but rather in the whole scheme of things, I wanted to atleast be a legible source if I ever post something here and I still enjoy the discussions. Of course I may have gotten sentimental a little but I deeply enjoyed Hackernews but right now, even not related to politics. The system does fall apart on every AI/Political issue which are dominating the headspace (some of which aren't flagged but I hope you get my point) > And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it. I understand ya but once again, apologies if I wasn't clear but we are on the same page except even flagging aside, people are genuinely distrustful of each other and someone had even compared Hackernews to 4chan and I tried to defend against it but nope, I do feel like its becoming 4chan atleast. > If you don't like the moderation and truly feel wronged, email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com. BTW, Odds are this post will also get flagged because complaining about flagging is another topic that is not interesting. Once once again, the two things are somewhat linked but that's okay about flagging, thats a different issue where the community has been vocal about. But the point (or what I want it atleast to be) is that people call clanker or AI or there is this distrust that the other HN commentator isn't in good faith or is a human at all. And I think that the community is quickly turning to degeneracy in many instances
