Your post is "flagged" to oblivion, just like my earlier post questioning the "inclusive" culture of the Rust community.

What is it called when a person or group's actions don't match their words?

> Your post is "flagged" to oblivion

Personally, I think downvoting insults is more inclusive than not downvoting insults.

> just like my earlier post

You made an entire submission asking users of a specific programming language to defend themselves.

It's a bad HN submission.

Flagging it is neither inclusive nor uninclusive. It's just marking it as a bad submission.

How do those actions fail to match words? What words do you have in mind?

Also the HN users that flagged it probably don't even use Rust.

  • So your magic ball tells you why did people hit the "flag" button on my post. Thank you for sharing that.

    For a moment I thought every hint of criticism towards Rust is suppressed or censored by the Rust zealots.
