        Not familiar with how flagging works. Why would it be flagged?

          when topics are too political usually flame wars abound and moderators can choose to flag/derank a submission to avoid the comments section going wild or just close comments altogether in extreme cases

          all i can find on doing research is if a thread has more comments than upvotes that might be what flags it as flamewar candidate (but seems mostly is manually reviewed by moderators, not fully-automated) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39790881 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231821

            Is there a simple rule about how many "flags" vs "upvotes" lead to an article not appearing on the front page?

            Or, just maybe, HN is full of people who don’t come to HN to read about nazis.

            You get down votes, but this is exactly it.

              Yeah, it's telling how this comment went from +2 to -2 to flagged to revived
