Sounds like you were posting about politics so the flagging was appropriate. You also were asking about TL;DRs which are explicitly not on-topic on HN. I'm not sure you've grasped the culture here to be honest.
This one statement of yours crystallizes the bigger flaw in your perspective, though: "I could get referral into decent university through this about the fact that I have commented some deep things on Hackernews."
You are over-valuing HN. A good comment here doesn't get you into college. A bad comment here doesn't change what your employees will think of you if you have some in the future. Overall, HN is not required to model itself to your desired topics and conversations. While it is a really decent place that many of us enjoy, it is still just a discussion board. And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it.
If you don't like the moderation and truly feel wronged, email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com.
BTW, Odds are this post will also get flagged because complaining about flagging is another topic that is not interesting.

The person who first called me clanker called it on an AI related post not on a flag related post. The flag related post was where we were talking about the distrust and where I later posted about on and someone followed that comment but couldn't see the previous so he called me clanker again
Although I admit that I may have mixed two of these flag and clanker stories but they are individually seperate (or that's how I intend it to be)
Apologies if that wasn't clear.

You are probably right but also, it's not only about these things but rather in the whole scheme of things, I wanted to atleast be a legible source if I ever post something here and I still enjoy the discussions. Of course I may have gotten sentimental a little but I deeply enjoyed Hackernews but right now, even not related to politics. The system does fall apart on every AI/Political issue which are dominating the headspace (some of which aren't flagged but I hope you get my point)
> And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it.
I understand ya but once again, apologies if I wasn't clear but we are on the same page except even flagging aside, people are genuinely distrustful of each other and someone had even compared Hackernews to 4chan and I tried to defend against it but nope, I do feel like its becoming 4chan atleast.

Once once again, the two things are somewhat linked but that's okay about flagging, thats a different issue where the community has been vocal about.
But the point (or what I want it atleast to be) is that people call clanker or AI or there is this distrust that the other HN commentator isn't in good faith or is a human at all. And I think that the community is quickly turning to degeneracy in many instances
Topics near current political issues are always a dumpster fire. If you really must comment just assume you're going to be downvoted and strawmanned so you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your journey and have a nice day yourself.
My intention about current political issues wasn't to be political. I posted it when I found some news pretty early and discovered that the previous post was flagged.
HN flagging is much of an issue too where you can observe in those threads. If you want, I can share the link perhaps.
The news of US blocking 75 countries have true deep economical impact and I dont even know how it got flagged since its a massive news development and something which impacts the valley and so many other people and I genuinely just wanted people to know and discuss about it similar to other posts (which didn't get flagged but I would consider more controversial??)
I just straight up don't know about this dual hypocrisy I witness in Hackernews. Your comment is still extremely good (compared to the two others one of which is a bot and the other called about xbox??)so I"d love to continue this discussion

Thanks!
No I didn't. I have played retro pokemon games though
Also not sure how it's relevant to this discussion extremely at all so yeah :/
PS: (it's okay that the commentor might not have created a decent comment but perhaps we can talk about retro pokemon games in here to atleast be a better spirit than complete waste of time, what's your favourite pokemon, mine's ampharos from pokemon silver. Ampharos + (totodile's last form fredigilator?) combo is one of the best in the game and you can actually defeat whittney johto (from the original which is considered one of the most hard challenges by many) rather easily by this combo. Hope this could help even one person xD
I comment about the problems caused by AI and bots and you create a new account just 2-3 minutes ago just to post on this and your about me tries to refer to Hi X where X is some AI tool itself which I don't even want to name which tries to remove humans from pictures
THE IRONY IS WRITING ITSELF. I swear, this is messing with my head right now. This can't be real.
Edit: looks like they are flagged now. To just say this, they had responded with just "cool" 2 minute after I had created the post
