We just fundamentally disagree. From my perspective you are the antithesis of curious conversation by censoring topics you don't want to discuss. I don't want to read the latest update on some dumb framework but I don't flag the post.
Also getting 500 karma on HN isn't hard.
Right, my point is, it's not in fact a small group of people.
Getting 500 karma is a trivial task and not some tiny group. Are there any HN regulars (that don't just lurk) that don't have that much karma?
The point is a flag has higher weight than an upvote, and it's easy to get the ability to flag posts.
Right, again, my point: the cohort of people who can be flagging these articles is quite large. It's not a small number of gatekeeping old-timers.
