Thanks. These discussions are so unbelievably bad* that the user flags must be correct.

* By "bad" I mean bad for HN: low-substance, flamey, high-indignation, high-snark. Not what this site is for.

Thank You. At least some on HN knows

These two discussions are flagged, lol. I bet this one will be flagged too. Is there a group of people who don’t want this news to spread?

I think political news are not encouraged here, exceptions for when interesting discussions are possible.

Judging by the quality of comments here and in the linked submissions, it's a good thing.

It’s definitely not political news. I don’t see any guideline term that it violated.

What's going on at the moment isn't politics and that's why it's being discussed so heavily.

No, it is politics. Apple stopped advertising on X over politics, not technical reasons. The Democrat-run media has successfully convinced a large number of highly conformist individuals that we've got another Hitler on our hands, and a lot of these people opine about their paranoia extensively on HN.

It's also a dupe. Doesn't matter if they were eventually flagged, there was already a bunch of views, upvotes, and discussion. Flagging after awhile is annoying, but also discussion devolves. It's not nothing tho. All is not lost. Stuff moves fast around here. And discussion continues there also as ppl follow the links.

Yes it's curious, that - it's an interesting story (although the comments aren't always thoughtful and substantive). Perhaps an email to mods is in order?

Why is it an interesting story?

for real. I'd like some answers.
