It doesn't matter who it is. That's irrelevant and leads us down the wrong path.
What is relevant is that Stacker News downzapping can't work this way. I'm not going to stay long-term on a platform on which it is absolutely trivial to completely censor a post - no discussion, no nothing - so that nobody can see it, because they disagree with the politics.
I'm not sure what the answer is. But the fact is that now, with enough sats, you can downzap anything to completely disappear it.
I know there's a lot of game theory here, that I may have not thought about. But this at least needs to be discussed.
