I always wondered how HN manages to do moderation 24/7 around the clock. Australia makes sense.

A lot of it boils down on dang being oversubscribed. And having some automations to help him

  • What do you mean by “oversubscribed”?

    Automation, sure. But people need to sleep sometime, and maybe also have some life outside HN, for mental health. ;)

    • I think what comment OP is saying is that dang was working more than was healthy - “oversubscribed” meaning “subscribed above capacity,” i.e. “doing yeoman’s work,” “doing the work of two people,” “that man is like a machine,” “do you ever sleep, dude?” etc
