Just wanna say I can't understand Hacker News' stance on politics:

Someone posts Paul Graham's post talking about "woke" ideology and mods/admins do nothing about it

While this one stays flagged

At least be consistent

Just to be clear, there's one main mod (dang) and they don't flag submissions, that honour falls to regular users who've been here a year or three or more (whatever the time | point threshold is).

Most of the users that can [flag] also have the option to [vouch]. If enough vouch the flag is reveresed (as far as I know).

Dang has directly commented on this post now. He is upholding the flag, which makes him complicit.

Okay. He does comment most days.

> He is upholding the flag, ..

Is he? Like "actively" .. or just letting things work as they are designed and as HN users have made happen?

> which makes him complicit.

Does it?

If so, is there a legal path by which we can punish him for this?

Maybe you've invested a little to much of yourself in an online forum.
