Thanks again to the moderators HN, let the whole community and Hacker news, will be forever, because this is the only corner on the internet: No competition, no evil. Just a good community and moderators - super heroes.

Invisible? This is one of the most censored places on the net lol

I must agree wholeheartedly. Thank you moderators! There are very few quiet corners left where people can discuss topics in good faith. Please feel free to disagree.

I am surprised at how primitive this site is. In form, function or opinion this place isn't even remarkable for 1995.

The opinions are with very few exceptions 1 dimensional and arid.

As to toxic flame wars, everyone knows those are the most entertaining part of the internet; It's just less fun when people are stupid and bad at it. Well moderated flame wars are the intellectual baseline for everything else.

The moderation here is based on plain censorship, meaning the elimination of topics or contributions without justification. Anything the slightest bit controversial or arousing is simply turned off.

And the tool applying censorship is a cudgel: it's ridiculous to waste time writing a comment only to find the post has been flagged between the time you entered the submission and when you hit post. Idiocy.

For a site pandering to smart people, there amazingly little knowledge here. The structure of the site is not built for knowledge. One thing never leads to another except by the effect Brownian motion. It's not designed for knowledge and the trivial repetitions are endless. A substantial number of posts are just re-posts.

Half the posts overall are lazy attention scams, which amount to nothing more than dry links to paywall MSM that rightfully should be flagged but aren't.

If there's one thing that stands out about this tech bro RSS feed of a site: it's how corporate and uncreative this joint is. Oh, but it's a trivial mental outpost for capital, so of course...

But thank you moderators!

Thank you to the community too, for we are the primary group deciding what does and does not get shown.

This community effort lets the official HN mods be more hands off and only step in for the more difficult situations. Having once been the subject of intervention, I found them fair and transparent.
