HN is not acting in bad faith whatsoever.
This story in particular “qualifies” for what would be interesting to HN readers while taking into account the sensitivity of the subject.
I fully expect the discussion to be allowed and the flag lifted, but HN mod team is very small and it might take a while - it quite literally always does.
Agreed. Also take into account how this and a few mirror discussions are rapidly degrading into “x are bad” political discussions which are just not that intere here.
People believing admins when they claim moderation and censorship is out of their hands and the result of a faulty system they have no control over, has to take the cake for this years distortion of reality.
Fact is very specific topics are routinely being suppressed systematically.
Do you have any proof of this?
