| I know it always feels like the mods are against you and secretly in cahoots with the other side when you get a moderation reply like the GP, which obviously doesn't feel good. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... But I promise you this is not so. We've warned and banned countless accounts on both sides of every divisive political question, including ideological ones and nationalistic ones. I could give you endless lists if I had more time but this one, though out-of-date, makes the point well enough (it's not like this has changed): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870 (Feb 2021) Does that mean you were wrong in claiming the following? > You allow so much anti-American propaganda on this site, and me calling out capitalistic tendencies is where you want to draw the line? You're right in the limited sense that we "allow" things we don't see. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here—there's far too much of it. But among the posts we do see, what we're concerned with is not "do I agree with this post politically" but rather "is it breaking the site guidelines", and that's where we draw the line. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... |
