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.

What exactly do you think vetting means? Why do you think it's only allowed to happen up front?
