It could be down to the flame-war detector being triggered: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22159031


The conversation was very civil though. I spoke to the moderators and they say that the flame-war detector was triggered, but when I asked him to read the comments he agreed that there wasn't a flame-war.

He said that since it was already taken down they would need "a good reason" to put it back up. And that the article's topic was "generic and sensationalist" so they don't feel like they should keep it up.

In my opinion, I think one of the moderators is more athiest and maybe it conflicted with their values and rubbed them the wrong way, so they decided to bury it when the "flame-war" detector went off, even though there was no flame war.

Reminds me of FutureMe [0] which I've used in the past to set goals for myself for the year only to receive the email and realize I had failed miserably. Eventually stopped using it. It wasn't a reliable way to keep me on track.

"let’s actually look at who’s running the levers of these systems. That means shifting away from just focusing on things like ethical principles to talking about power."

"We’re looking at a profound concentration of power into extraordinarily few hands"

I think you are using the wrong definition of power to frame this article


>the physical impact

You caught me. I didn't realize that the author having misused this above expression would point to how big a piece of trash the rest of the article would be. Had I done my due diligence, I wouldn't even have bothered commenting.


> Had I done my due diligence, I wouldn't even have bothered commenting.

I so wish you would have done that before posting most of your comments.


Didn't know I had a fan.


You have two now. I don't get the underhanded call out.

<head scratch>

Different strokes I guess?


I've gotten scolded for doing things like that, but it's 2021, so selective enforcement on Very Important platforms is nothing surprising.


There was a good discussion recently:

and another briefer one from two years ago when this article was written:
