I noticed that too, so I used this as a test case:

>>44588392

it hours to get it flagged where a Trump/Musk criticism gets flagged in a few minutes.

But it was flagged. I really really doubt HN is "pro-fascist", but I think it leans to the right because it is the rich that funds their projects.

It's a misconception that most HN users are startup founders taking investor funds.

Most HN users are tech employees or freelancers on salaries or contractor fees, so whatever political slant HN has aligns with that.

Posts about the U.S. administration and tech celebrities get flagged because people try and submit them every day and they lead to repetitive flamewar discussions, which is everything that HN is trying to avoid.
