Within one hour it had nearly 200 up-votes, and over 120 comments. Then, suddenly, it was flagged and buried into the archives of Hacker News.
While this may not be "Hacker News" it is obviously content that resonates with a large percentage of the HN community. I hope the mods just let it be this time.
- Bud 11y agoThey didn't; it dropped from #2 to out of the top 200 or so instantly. I emailed the mods to ask if I had done something wrong, and was informed that this post was "off-topic", because it was not "deeply interesing" and/or did not satisfy intellectual curiosity. Very aggressive modding, and very silly modding.
- krapp 11y agoThe truth is, the only intellects that matter here are those of the mods. If they don't find a subject interesting, it's objectively uninteresting.
