Why is this being hidden off of the main HN pages? There are clearly enough points for it to be significantly up weighted. I don’t understand the censorship.

>>HPMOR+(OP)
The censorship is cranked up on every site now, presumably due to fear of retaliation from this admin.

They are hyper online, and threaten any companies business deals if they feel slighted.

Its why you can get banned on reddit now for quoting the president.

Some naive people here, still think the HN page listing is based on points and comments...

>>HPMOR+(OP)
Because many HN readers flag anything that they deem to be “politics”

You are downvoting what is the evidence in front of your eyes. Downvoting the observation does not change the ranking anomaly. If you want trust, you can’t run the front page like this.

>>belter+G6
You’re being downvoted by bots. HN is rigged and completely compromised. We all need start flagging any non-political content and refuse to discuss anything but ICE. Business cannot continue as normal.

Unless it has computer!

I would say "wrong politics". Atrocities committed by other regimes have no problems staying on top page.

This site has always been easy to co-opt to fascism with their supposedly apolitical outlook. Flagging from unknown accounts easily kills stories of importance, even where they have relation to the supposed interests of the site. Such as the AI altered image being posted by the White House this week.

The idea we have to treat arguments in good faith like the other user in this story excusing fascist death squads show how well this moderation approach aligns with the Thiel-ite sympathies.

Curtis Yarvin spent a lot of time posting here, after all.

>>youngt+G2
In the eyes of some in leadership, tech workers should be apolitical worker drones. Weighing in on politics is for people like David Sacks, Marc Andreesen, Elon Musk.

>>FpUser+Za
Unless that regime is Israel.

Yep, I got a three day ban from Reddit for directly quoting JFK (and nothing else) in my comment.

I even attributed it.

Sometimes even with computer! Don’t want to get uncomfy that the code you’re writing is enabling terrible things.

As I understand it, HN has a controversial submission detection system of sorts. The exact details elude me, but if a submission gets a lot of comments quickly relative to upvotes, it'll fall off the main page.

Best indicator I've seen is if comments/points ~> 0.9 or so.

It's my understanding mods can undo this "controversial" flag, so that select threads get back onto the main page.

It is at the top of best stories here.
