And they managed to get it flagged. The longer HN mods pretend this is just natural flagging because folks are sick of the same old topics and not a coordinated effort to control the narrative, the more I'm going to start seeking alternative sources for interesting news.

At the very least someone showing data that in aggregate there are just more follow-on duped stories about things and they're letting one through un-flagged (ideally the top up voted one) to show that there is or isn't bias creeping in via the flagging system would be helpful in re-establishing trust.

I probably have a unique view as I view HN through an RSS feed of posts with over 100 up votes. Every single time I see a post critical of X or Musk and click through the story has been flagged. I'll try to do data analysis via that lense and see what it turns up.
