Generally I'd be upset at an article like this being on news.yc, but this was a really great speech that didn't focus too much on politics. It had much more to do with hope, success and fighting for what you believe in. That's a pretty universal message, and one that could easily be applied to startup life.
- byteCoder 19y agoMy biggest concern is the "slippery slope" and the "tragedy of the commons" that befell reddit. It seems that in user-submitted and -voted content, moderation (in both senses of the word) is a problem.

- brlewis 19y agoBeware of slippery-slope arguments. Once you accept one slippery-slope argument, you have to accept them all. The people you're worried about are all happily typing away, posting juvenile comments on the story I submitted to politics.reddit.com yesterday. They have no motivation to come here. I think news.yc is safe regardless of what the editors decide about political stories. P.S. My second sentence is a recursive joke. I didn't mean it.

- mikesabat 19y agoCarpal, agreed. I don't like to see politics on YC, but you'd have to agree that this community generally feels the same and does a good job "policing".
