I think this is a mostly useless complaint due to lack of specificity in two key respects. First, it fails to identify what in the HN "commenting policy" is supposedly to blame for the problem, and second, it fails to propose a change that would resolve the problem that could then be the focus of a discussion of whether the change is a net improvement.
Other than the fact that the author clearly doesn't like that the one particular story was flag killed, there's no substance and just a lot of nonspecific complaint and emotional language.
That's not to say that I don't think that HN tends to focus on stories of interest to white upper middle class to upper class people with deep interest in technology and/or the tech industry, but I don't see the article offered here as offering anything constructive with regard to tthat.
