Flagged. And I don't think I've ever flagged anything on HN before.
HN has made _huge_ improvements in quality around discussions related to racism/sexism/diversity in the tech scene, but even I know that any #ferguson/#blacklivesmatter/etc comment-threads will quickly become an unapproachable nuclear meltdown.
- smw 12y agoThere are so few places on the web to have intelligent, calm conversations with interesting people about tough subjects. I find it sad that HN seems to want to steer clear of addressing them, especially because I think the site attracts the type of people who might propose creative solutions.
- smtddr 12y agoYou're right. Hopefully one day HN(or any online anonymous'ish forum) can reach a point where this conversation can happen, but that day is not today.
