I have a theory that social platforms are so overwhelmed with flagged content because of ideological wars, they run out of capacity to address actual (and not imaginary) hate speech.

People flag everything they don't like instead of downvoting stuff. In fact some platforms don't even have a "downvote" button, so "report" button becomes a replacement and hogs all human moderation resources.

I would never hire someone with public activism record. In fact I'd rather hire someone with prior criminal record, as they actually have a chance to recover.

this is the kind of comment I come to HN for, informative and based on facts.

this, Netflix should not explain their actions. And if they suspend someone they better follow through and just fire them, indecisiveness projects weakness.

I'm glad Reed Hastings fully supports this, he is a major donor to the DNC, they are fighting their own.

These “marginalized” groups seem to be running the country though, and cancel anyone who disagrees with their agenda

the article is right, it's all about narrative, and these "optics" make SF politicians look bad

it's one if those ideas that sound bad initially but may turn out to be great in practice, like Airbnb

and reputation is much stronger signal than leetcode hoops

I always use search for url lookup, it's way more forgiving ( with spellcheck etc)

it's nothing to do with tech literacy, it just allows for faster finding of what you need

The downvote mechanism is sufficient. just remove the "flag" option and a lot of this unnecessary babysitting would not be needed.
