Hacker news engages in ideological vetting against users. For example, try posting content encouraging violence.

HN only (lazily) filters content. It doesn't engage in ideological vetting, and doesn't need to either.

A good amount of the commenters on this story probably would encourage violence, or at least agree with the sentiment on a different platform, yet here they are. I'm not even sure if they're real people or bots.

We are having a discussion right now that would not be allowed if there was vetting.
