HN’s scoring and moderation is fundamentally broken. Worse than Reddit. Reddit actually has better dialogue and community.

It’s definitely not worse than reddit.

Reddit has become a hysterical left-wing echo chamber.

You cannot visit any default sub reddit without being bombarded with hyper-partisan conspiracy theories about politics and economic issues.

That is a hasty generalization. There are plenty of sub-reddits that are free of politics. I get more down voting on HN for being honest and not conforming to some group think than I ever do on reddit.

The "censorship regime" is the users.

Why is it flagged? I would guess that it's because it's far more politics than tech, and many of us are getting really tired of political discussions.

It's not even close to "far more"

Go look at new and do the percentage yourself.

This article is far more about politics than tech.

It’s funny, the same folks who complain about seeing political stuff constantly are the same ones saying that in every political thread. Almost like they aren’t being honest, just flagging stuff because they’re neoreactionaries trying to make the conversation disappear. It’s quite chilling.
