That he’s not a free speech absolutist? big deal, nobody is no platform is, thats the expected default behavior everywhere you go and there is zero reason why HN would be different.

dang is welcome to enforce rules as he pleases, it's his platform (or rather publishing space).

But restricting speech concerning those in power imply things that I would presume he would not want to imply.

implies what? I took a guess but you keep talking in riddles, use your words

This attitude isn't a good look for the owners of this private platform and I don't think they'd agree with your perspective nor do most of the users. Food for thought.

The users dont matter and will do the same thing on their own platforms once there are any stakeholders

The owner’s actions speak louder than their words and the moderations actions in their properties are not a mystery or unexpected

My my, the users don't matter. Who does? Maybe only yieldcrv matters?

The owners have left this platform and mostly hang out on twitter.

Something we could agree on until relatively recently, there seems to be a notable change in direction and a growing dissatisfaction online and offline amongst actual entrepreneurs (the sort that apply to ycombinator) and investors. If those users don't matter and start leaving what is this site actually for my friend?
