Dear mods. I know it isn’t you - but it’s a shame to see this flagged. Seems some people wish they only needed to think about complexity in space and time but not complexity in society.

Flagging as silent protest won’t progress the debate because the issues and reasons don’t get discussed, people just object. If people dislike the direction HN is going they should be encouraged to speak up so everyone can talk through it.

Perhaps we need to reset community norms around flagging?

It will be difficult to encourage people to speak up if people get down voted for holding unpopular views.

It would be interesting if HN tried to create a safe space for people to discuss political subjects, free from flagging and downvotes, similar to the design of anti-polarization projects in the past.
