From your profile:

> "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." = censorship. Unaccountable [flag] = censorship.

Apparently everything is censorship and everybody else is a prick. It's always someone else's fault. There's never responsibility taken for mean-spiritedness or rule violations.

Ever considered that if this is the hill you're dying on, your takes are just terrible and getting flagged is just this site's natural selection?

No, it's everyone else who is wrong? OK then.

I mean, the dead comment in this one is dead because of: "You're just defending Bluesky because you're on the same team politically" which is an unnecessarily unkind, snarky, uncurious way to communicate. That last paragraph was unnecessary but it tainted the entire post.

From the site rules:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

> Don't be curmudgeonly.

> Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

But, of course, it's everybody else's problem, never yours, never the owner of the dead comment.
