When the submitter emailed to ask why that got flagged, I said it was probably because of the baity name, and if they changed that to something neutral we'd allow the repost.
Wrong. It's a repost of a flagged submission that was flagged due to the nature of its name and reposted. The real hacker community loved the podesta pizza name. HN not so much so I renamed it to Hacker Spring!
Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? We're trying for something different than that here, and we need you to get on board with the intended spirit of the site in order for that to work: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
We don't look at this as a moral issue, by the way. It's just necessary if HN is to achieve its original purpose, which is to remain interesting as it grows. The alternative is to burn to a crisp, and we'd prefer not to:
The real hacker community doesn't exclusively hang out on 8chan (and wherever people wound up from there), you know. Honestly, in Europe, it's largely a bunch of antifa types.
