Sounds like 4chan - but possibly worse.

"If your ratio of down votes to up votes, falls below 50/50, then your comments will be hidden"

This is just Reddit (and I think HN) but even worse. At least with Reddit it's a certain threshold below 0 before it becomes hidden. With this system a single downvote would make comments hidden.

I think Slashdot is the closest to getting this right where you can (even if not a user) choose the thresholds in terms of score for abbreviating and hiding comments.

Slightly OT, I see the Guardian labeling Peterson as right-wing.

Now without starting a Peterson-fan debate (I’m neutral when it comes to his teachings) I’m curious if anyone can explain where this comes from? I always saw him as more of a psychologist than a politician but i might be missing something.

I’d appreciate some HN folks’ pointers or thoughts to maybe correct my POV
