- jacquesm 11y agoAs opposed to those ideologists that post such links? New account posts article on controversial political subject restricted impact on US, no prior comments, no direct link to hacking and/or start-ups or even technology. Flagged. Simply because I don't think this is 'hackernews' and for being pre-emptively labeled an 'ideologist'.
- overpaidgoogler 11y agoI don't closely follow which articles are flagged, but I think that articles with a tech angle or some novel statistical or scientific analysis are favored over general politics. The reason I flag general political articles (eg articles about race or gender issues without any of the above) is that I don't find the discussions interesting, and I think that the posters are coming from a viewpoint of "this stuff is important so it should be discussed everywhere, whether people want to or not"
