It's not a matter of fair. It is what it is, and it works the way the owners and most users like it. And it is done very, very well.
Personally, I think the bias has become so strong that the lack of a viable alternative or reddit-style autonomous subs is really starting to grate.
HN has become a homogenous echo chamber in which saying the "wrong" thing will get you buried or even slow/shadow banned.
But usually the manipulation is more subtle in avoiding those discussions altogether, and this may be a typical example of that. (Which in itself would an excellent example of good, subtle moderation.)
The great irony is that on a platform that considers politics to be off-topic, political and ideological bias dominates almost everything but the most neutral of scientific and technological topics.
But I suspect most HN-ers, including the moderators, are barely aware of that bias because they operate inside a bubble of like-minded people within a very narrow ideological spectrum.
But "fair" doesn't come into it. It works as intended.
The current post has been flagged by users, too.
