You'll see the Grok genocide story got posted five times... so they ended up getting one flag and four dups. People are trying, but oppression is easy on here, and the power to prevent a flagging is concentrated. People comment on flagging only to be ignored by the management, and repost those suppressed stories to no effect.

It's probably best to give up with the website and use an RSS reader. I also turn on hidden comments. The censorship can be mostly avoided.

I could hide my head in the sand and imaging that the 'flaggers' are taking advantage of a loophole in the HN moderating system but I don't believe that anymore.

This still PG's site and I have no illusions about where his allegiances lie. The whole lot of them care for nothing but their own power and wealth.

You just have to read pg's tweets and essays to see where his allegiances lie. It's not what you're asserting or implying in this thread.
