| We moderate anti-Islamic flamewar posts exactly as we do other religious flamewar posts. I dug up a few examples for you below. There are others, but this should be more than enough to persuade any fair-minded reader: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40747009 (June 2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40746973 (June 2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38623290 (Dec 2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27534558 (June 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25319171 (Dec 2020) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18080981 (Sept 2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14116279 (April 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13647198 (Feb 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13286221 (Dec 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11669863 (May 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11518006 (April 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11340026 (March 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10897270 (Jan 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10590568 (Nov 2015) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10564079 (Nov 2015) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9992931 (Aug 2015) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8008392 (July 2014) As you can see, these go back over a decade and in fact for as long as I've been doing this job. The mistake in your comment is the assumption that we see everything that gets posted to HN. We don't come close—there is far too much for that to be possible. I'd be surprised if mods see even 10% of what gets posted to HN. Since we can't moderate what we don't see, we rely on users to bring egregious posts to our attention. If you'd like to be helpful in the future, you'd be welcome to send us links so we can take a look. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... |
