It has become painfully clear that HN needs to make flaggers public.

What evidence do you have that this was flagged by 'users'?

Are all of these such posts that are flagged by the same 'user'?

That 'user' could even be dang, sama, pg, musk, or any number of the bots deployed on this forum.

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 user to show you their phone or computer to make sure they're not a shill. That doesn't seem realistic.
