If you're referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43857048 ("everyone who isn’t a bootlicker"), then obviously you broke at least these:

"Eschew flamebait."

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle."

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

That means the users who flagged your post were correct to do so.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is a good place for discussion, and it isn't being addressed properly by the moderation team.

hard to say without knowing what was there

I’m obviously addressing the mods (perhaps facetiously). No, I didn’t break any rules (except for “fuck this place”)

Social media cracking down on leftist ideology is something that needs to be studied. They are very slick about it, and will usually find some way to make it appear legit (eg: deliberately interpreting obvious sarcasm as literally as possible and then hitting you with the content policy) but at the end of the day anybody can see that reactionaries can get away with calls to violence and war crime apologia while the rest of us have to be on their absolute best behaviour.

It really goes to show you that capital has no ideology and will adopt whatever shape it needs to as the political climate changes. The United States government is now fascist, and therefore the investor class is also fascist.

There's a lot of regressives here actively abusing the flagging functionality for censorship - ironically the same kind of people that'll tell you how much they care about freedom of speech (the unspoken part: but only if its speech they agree with)
