No, the flagging brigade on HN is largely composed of a small minority of ultra right wing tech bros who had their wet dream come true when Trump got elected again. Also, HN's algorithms have been set up to encourage and abet such beha

I'm wondering how the officials are planning to verify which social media accounts an applicant holds. Apparently the idea of creating a 'clean' account for inspection is novel to them. Also, pleasantly surprised to see this

Why was this story flagged? It has no mention of any of the hot button political topics that usually get banned. Honestly, the thin skin on some of the folks here is in a class of it's own.

There doesn't seem to be any overt censorship, however the ranking algorithms play a role in making it appear that some stories are being deliberately buried. The 'official' explanation that I got from Dang was that political
