What's the goal of posting here?
Social coordination and awareness are two good reasons.

I am thankful for the share

The internal skirmish is an example of society pushing back on the likes of Palantir, Andruril, Flock - generalizing to the elites and oligarchy who are constructing the same global dynamics that preceded WW2.

It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm sure there is a contingent hoping to use a global war to escape/go unnoticed with their ill-gotten gains. But yeah, elites and oligarchic power need to be the forefront of most discussions until it is no longer a problem.

The thread mingles several topics, including someone's personal views on gender.

What's the concrete idea in this case?

Excommunicate this one guy for their views on gender and marriage? Is it to change the Haskell license to prevent Anduril from using Haskell at all (since the submission headline is made up to target this one company)? Or what?

It largely seems to be not allowing Anduril to post jobs on their forum

Wow. They’ve singled out Anduril for what reason? Or do they have principles that govern who can post jobs
Anduril for the CEOs public commentary towards division and inequality, and because they posted a job to the forum, in this threads chain. It's almost certainly a case study to inform the general policy and direction for the community
I think the idea from the comment I was referring to was that organizations like Haskell are grappling with the concept of being discretionary when it comes to letting Anduril and others launder their own war-profiteering through Haskell's reputation.

Hacker News is whatever is interesting to the people on it, myself, verdverm and others find this interesting. Therefore it is here.
