I think this should be discussed, not flagged off the front page.
Engage with the source [1] if you think it is insulting (for whom?) that he writes "that Reddit seems to have overtaken Stormfront as the world’s largest White Supremacy community."
1) he refers to Keegan Hankes, SPLC Research Analyst:

- ColinWright 11y ago> I think this should be discussed, > not flagged off the front page. I agree. I see it's been flagged dead at least thrice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872149 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872386 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872806 There may be more. The problem is that while this is an important issue that deserves, indeed, demands, careful and intelligent discussion, I've seen that of late, HN is not the place to get such discussion. I expect the thread to degenerate rapidly, and so I suspect that's why it's getting flagged. Not because it isn't important, but because it will bring out the worst in people, and become a focus for incivility at best. I'd love to be proved wrong.
