HACKER Q&A

Can we make up/downvotes/flags visible on Hacker News Archives (delayed)


When PG removed public upvotes/downvotes, it was about removing bias/momentum voting. However, it is still a useful feedback for research after the fact. Same with number of flags - it would be interesting to see which posts are getting the most flagged.

Happy to hear other suggestions as well with more nuance on the topic.

I'd like the delay to kick in after voting is no longer allowed. It's very much a thing on reddit but mobbing becomes part of the addiction cycle as well.
