  HN has always been much worse than Reddit in regards to admin censorship, moderator bias, and non-transparency. It's not a conspiracy, it's principles. HN doesn't deserve to have any new social site on its front page. (Flagged? Moderated? You'll never know.)

  Why should HN be all that interested in discussing an internet shit-fit happening on another site? There's always an internet shit-fit somewhere. I could get a bit of mileage out of discussing how this will completely fail because internet communities are generally driven by the shape of their moderation technologies, so copying the same technologies generally guarantees the same result, but other than that and the obligatory angry disagreements, that's about all the conversation there is here. Anyways, despite the fact I commented here, I've flagged it too.

    HN may be interested for the following reasons. 1. The linked website is a fork of a popular link aggregation website that has numerous tech subcommunities. 2. There were lots of previous submissions and discussions on HN about reddit controversies, including controversies related to the subject of free speech. 3. Sam Altman is a leading investor in the latest Reddit round. I offer no opinion on the subject of the submission as my knowledge about that is basically zero.

      Maybe such 'controversies' would hold a lot more credibility if they were actual controversies instead of the paranoid conspiracy theories of fedora-hatted misogynists? Just a thought.
