What are some basic patterns you see that hold true for HN?
In what way would it be useful for end users, get more visibility for posts?
based on my A/B testing there seems to be a fluctuation in terms of what submissions are allowed
Usually during US working hours, the submissions are overwhelmingly to the left, yet ironically align with current conflicts that US backs.
Outside US working hours, its a more of a mixed bag but generally seems less biased. This is to be expected as most are English speakers in the West especially US.
For instance the same submission that made it through previously were just flagged because the person reading it didn't align politically.
I am still gathering data but seems like "free speech" doesn't exist on either platform rather "defined speech" by those that rank higher by the algorithm.
