It's been one of the biggest recent discussions and the links there provide a lot of explanation of how moderation works, etc. I'm not sure how to respond to this, maybe you don't like the explanations, which is fine, but &qu

Right but the HN criterion is repetition. What difference should it make if the repetitive thing is professionally written? People flag dupes all the time and many stories are covered by multiple reputable sources.

People don't like repetitive topics - that's a much simpler explanation and things get flagged for repetitiveness all the time. The source doesn't really matter, after the Nth DOGE article, if Kabosu herself descended from do

There are endless things that affect every person on this forum that are not a particularly great fit for the forum so that in itself isn't much of a practical criterion.

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting there aren't flags, and a lot of them. The argument is that this is pretty much how HN works and is supposed to, for most repetitive topics. You can certainly make the case it should wo

If you believe the site is operated by conspiracy (bots, hidden influencers, Musk (when he's not crushing it at Diablo IV and PoE, presumably)), what sort of evidence could conceivably convince you? You might as well be asking every HN

Is this something people can try, at this stage of development? I couldn't quite figure it out from skimming.

The people inviting are not the same people as the people flagging? Like, how does it make sense that all of them are Musk fans? At this rate you might suggest that the people who are commenting here expressing their disapproval are only do

If your response to being wrong about something is 'oh, so the answer is more brownshirts', you might want to re-examine the totalizing nature of your Brownshirt Theory of Everything.

The 'they' in question are almost certainly users who are flagging this.

I don't think this aspect of US hyperrich behaviour has a partisan valence, really. The US did once have proper oligarchs, they just had a less 10-dollar-SAT-word name: robber barons. Eventually the state significantly curtailed their

Which key executive agency has Soros (or if you prefer Koch) been able to direct or even shown any interest in personally directing, as presidential satrap? These people have policy goals rather than exercise-of-power goals. At a minimum th

dang's argument IMO more drives to the point that current HN policy/culture is insufficient. That's the "This time it's different" bit from his comment so I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you sa

They are being discussed on HN a great deal so it's not clear the question makes sense. HN also doesn't really have a 'politics rule'. This is worth a read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011
