There have been many comments regarding Asahi Lina that were outwardly hateful or borderline so. Some of it moderated, but definitely not all. I do not blame the project for not wanting to associate with HN.
I personally don't have reason to hate Lina. How come?
Hn has a taste for shadow banning. You don't get to see what people post because a majority of posts on threads aren't shown to anyone but the author.
This place is the iceberg meme basically.
Even if that were true (it’s not) how does that hurt the linked site?
The people who can't be heard here still click links. For some reason the terminally online think that banning people makes them disappear in the real world too.
