Moderna has fewer breakthrough cases than Pfizer's, but higher myocarditis rates

Lots and lots of flagged and deleted posts here. I thought Hacker News was outside of what Eric Weinstein likes to call the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex[1]. That the DISC is deeeeeply troubled by the comments on this story should tell you everything you need to know about this topic. Speaking of which, is there anything like Snoo for reddit that keeps track of deleted and flagged posts on HN?

There are tons of flagged and deleted posts on every HN thread because there are tons of really bad posters on HN. Honestly I think some of the absolute dumbest things I've ever read on the internet were on this site. Thank god we can flag the really low signal garbage.

Not for deleted but you can "show dead" in your HN settings.

One of the deleted comments was calling HN a breeding ground for conspiracies for sharing an CNBC article? Another was spewing a complaint about having to wear masks.

It isn’t censorship or suppression to delete comments that insult a community and provide nothing constructive to a conversation.

I also don’t care to define what “constructive” is in this context.The HN Mods can handle that.

No there are not. Your account is old enough to have known that there aren't even that many comments at all on this page. IIRC, comments never get deleted, only flagged.

>That the DISC is deeeeeply troubled by the comments on this story should tell you everything you need to know about this topic.

Even accepting your premise of the "DISC" from contrarian podcaster on a wiki with few citations of any claims: No, one little "clue" doesn't tell anyone "everything they need to know" about a topic.

>Speaking of which, is there anything like Snoo for reddit that keeps track of deleted and flagged posts on HN?

I'm not aware of one.

I think GP is using "deleted" colloquially to mean what this site calls "dead", which definitely happens to comments all the time.

For popular controversial posts like this, the mods often override the flags and show everything.

What does it tell us about the topic? That rhetorical comments are inbound?

Plenty of independent ideas are also nonsensical
