Good moderation is exactly why I check HN every day and not so much other places. Thanks mods!

#12> I sent an email to the moderator. @dang, who was very kind and quick in his response, explained to me that the Story had been flagged by users even without being explicitly [flagged], and that he could therefore only hypothesize the causes of the flag.
Maybe this is a consequence of Hacker News not having a way to downvote stories?
I only flag stories that are blatant violation of HN's guidelines: SPAM, politics, racist... Otherwise, if I don't like a story I don't do anything.
Maybe I'll start flagging stories that I don't like?

#13"While I have no reason to doubt Daniel's good faith, it's hard to believe that HN users would be tired of LLM-related news."
If you believe that HN is a hive mind and all users must believe in the exact same things, then yes, this is probably hard to believe.
I however, am tired of LLM news, but I just simply ignore them as I'm well aware that many people here are very much interested in them. So at least an anecdotal response of one that some HN users are tired of LLM related news.
You might also be surprised that not all HN users like social media while some do. Some are very privacy conscious while others will freely post all of their everythings to anywhere. You might find it hard to believe that some lean left while others lean right with some even landing straight in the middle. Why you would think anything is hard to believe in this day and age is very strange to me.

#17Fine with me! I keep coming back here because the site is relatively un-cluttered. Thanks mods!

#18Some feedback by the way: might want to sort the dates in reverse chronological order so the newest removed stories show up first :D

#19It looks like some of these are cases of duplicate threads being migrated, which isn't completely obvious when looking at this Github page.
For example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39219568 was just a dupe. Maybe that's the case for some of the more technical stories that are removed.
