Case in point, they are they only "news" org to have edited the George Floyd videos into new clip orderings
There are always better left perspective news sources
On HN, we go by article quality, not site quality: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Flagging seems like the only means at a story level, but in most cases not appropriate.
Are comments the recommendation?
However, after quite a few frustrations with this site, I read a lot of dang's comments about the nature of this site. He says, in a different and much more eloquent way, that it is tough for people to see different views that they disagree with vehemently after they thought that HN was a home to them. It shocks and hurts people, and it did so to me for quite some time.
I feel like a corollary to this idea is that this site, HN, is for everyone, not individual users. It is unsharded, with no bubbles of opinion to retreat to. There are plenty of sites where you can moderate what you see to a great extent; this site is not one of them and is at the same time more difficult to digest and many times substantively better than other sites. Not all sites need to provide you exactly what each of us wants; in fact, this site is made to challenge our perspectives. At the same time, the humble "hide" button does exist here.
thank you, dang. Your writing is amazing and has completely changed my perspective on the nature of this forum. I appreciate your hard work and am sorry for my ignorant responses in the past.
