I'm leaving Hacker News. If things got to be censored, it's got to be done on my desk and not by an algorithm or anyone else. If I got to be called a spammer, it's got to be done by a human being. And I certainly don't want to be tricked into believing I'd participate -- I sense supreme assholiness here with which only people can come up who think they're extra-bright. I'll find myself some more honest and fair news site where I can choose myself what I want to see. Live long and prosper.
