It's flagged because it's flame baiting. It's posting opinions and acting like it's representing the "tech world". This is just some unknown twitter account



I mean he is not famous but not quite unknown.

Here for example is The Economist on his bookmarking site:

>>> Mr Cegłowski runs Pinboard, a paid social-bookmarking service which allows subscribers to store web links with annotations and share them with others. In broad terms, it is similar to Delicious, which Yahoo! acquired in 2005.

But yes, this is a controversial subject. It shouldn't be. It should be an easy yes / no. But something is wrong. We should not be afraid of the discussion about what is wrong.


When I google Pinboard I get an indian site - maybe it's big there? the second result is a similar site for a different country
