censorship is going on in the comments too

[gentleman11 → temp_00ahn]

There are several low karma posters (3-4 first time posters) in this thread though, so at minimum it’s encouraging people who rarely participate to join in, which probably seems odd

Downvotes are not censorship. Half a decade of smart-ass comments like yours have robbed the word of any meaning.

There is censorship on HN... not only downvotes and flagging... sometimes admins move entire threads wherever they want too... There is also the opposite of censorship (they boost some content)

Forum moderation is not censorship.

It is not only toxic content that is threated that way... but I think that they do it less nowadays... or they are getting better at it.

There are three competing philosophies in this thread: 1) This is because of communism 2) China is being reasonable 3) This is a crime, what can we do?

1 & 2 are diametrically opposed and downvoting each other whereas 3 gets attacked for being moderate.

Calling it censorship is fine but do recognize that it's because your opinion is take poorly more often than not within this thread.

why is it that we can complaint about US and capitalism but speaking about china and communism gets censored in HN?
