> Personally, I’d stay at 3. I’d also wait at least a day between re-posts (and try re-posting at different time slots).

Wow, that's not how I parsed the very same reposting rules. If I'm about to submit something and I found an older submission with the same URL, my personal rule is that it should be older than a year ago before I'd submit it again. Three posts with the same URL for three consecutive days seems a bit too much.

> Hacker News is moderated mainly by dang aka Dan Gackle (pronounced ‘Gackley’). He’s not of asian descent

??? Is it common that people think he is Asian for some reason? What a strange paragraph to include...

Not just that, but for some time you could observe subthreads accusing him of being a chinese subversion of HN in china related discussions.

There's been a lot of misguided moderation that happens to be in favor of China. Earlier in the pandemic, the left bought into the propaganda that the lab leak theory etc were racist. I attribute the pro-China moderation to good intentions and ignorance.

I don't know if you're talking about HN, but what you're describing there is not the dynamic here.
