Other thread like this just got flagged after I commented on it but nothing I could see in the comments was bad (https://pasteboard.co/IIfv9uz.png).. someone care to enlighten me and not flag down if a bit annoying for your chosen political party
Alternatively, users were expecting the discussion to turn bad and flagged it preemptively, or they're tired of Hong Kong local news because they feel it crowds out tech content or...
I doubt that a significant number of HN even know any Hong Kong political parties, let alone care which one wins.
FWIW it's unflagged now.
thanks. no particular interest myself apart from HK is a stopover on my flight next week.. I did not know you could flag something for being boring, I assumed it was only abusive or derogatory comments.
