I lost flagging privileges after I did it to 20 or so stories. All were more off-topic than this, one literally on the Chinese silk road from about 200 BC.
But I agree with you, that instagram posts like these are low-content, even though this issue itself is interesting.
I think HN needs a downvote button.
- dang 13y agoThe Chinese silk road from 200 BC is perfectly on-topic for HN! We want more, not fewer, interesting pieces from off the beaten track. Good historical posts are particularly welcome because they counteract the relentless addiction to novelty, which breeds shallowness.
