hackerbeat··on Ask HN: Thoughts on shadow banning and other dick moves by Silicon Valley?

hackerbeat··on Ask HN: Thoughts on shadow banning and other dick moves by Silicon Valley?
Both of these are based on arbitrary rules that clearly haven't been thought through.

Maybe, you don't know that. However, we constantly see stuff getting "flagged" on here that is totally fine, like this question we're on.

Only content that goes against the law or the site's guidelines should get flagged, not opinions or articles that aren't to the liking of some folks.

Liberality also means putting up with opinions that don't suit you.

Of course they are, just as your comment is.

Shadow banning on HN is as random and arbitrary as anywhere else.

The public should decide what’s of value, not some random, faceless dude with too much power.

The same holds true for that ridiculous flagging mechanism used here.

Silicon Valley is pretending to be liberal while behaving dictatorial.

hackerbeat··on Google now defaults to not indexing your content
Like you run around with evidence all day to back up your comments and statements. Ever heard of experience? OP and I have been through this for years, no need for a PowerPoint for everyone who asks.

Also, you're just defending Google here for no reason, while they're breaking the web. Please continue if that makes you feel better and smarter.

hackerbeat··on Google now defaults to not indexing your content
The console has been around forever and getting a few sites “indexed” means nothing these days. Google will show these to a handful people a day to make you believe they care.

Nah, OP is right. Happens for all new sites these days, regardless of the niche.

hackerbeat··on Ask HN: How many of you are consciously downsizing your devices/going retro?
I’m still on my iPhone 6 and have no plans to upgrade.

Like nobody knows what a smartphone can do. It’s a sad world when it runs the whole show for you. And as soon as it’s gone, you’re screwed. Like with any other addiction.

Yeah, agreed, but it’s also the biggest timesuck ever.

I some time ago came across a nice little trick: Using a big empty matchbox to catch them and then just open the window to free them. Works like a charm.
