So HN users, who disagree about research into the effectiveness of deplatforming, resort to HN's version of 'deplatforming'?

Despite being flagged, I can still see the link and we can still comment on it. It's not memory-holed.

Given the first few comments were disingenuous questions about what the definition of "hate" is, there was no doubt that this one would be flagged to oblivion. My kid knew the meaning of the word "hate" at 4 years old. HN users don't?

Exactly, it's always the loaded questions they start with to control the narrative.

Not sure anyone disagrees that it's effective, especially not if you only examine behaviour localized to one platform.

Anyone who doesn't like this submission being flagged can always start an offsite dedicated to advocating for even more extreme censorship.
