I'm curious as to why the HN story[1] about the sale was flagged yesterday? [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11997773 https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

  They specifically asked for it to not be publicly posted until this morning; yesterday was mailing-list-members-only. See also this subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11997925 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11997925

    That doesn't seem to be a good reason for it to be flagged.

      Those with flagging powers can flag for any reason they like. Apparently there are a number of urbit true believers on HN.

  The sale was initially announced only via email to those who subscribed to a specific list, and the announcement included a request to keep it quiet until 9pm PDT (midnight Eastern).

  The sale was supposed to be on the down-low until today. I suspect someone flagged it for that reason. The stars sold out before it was announced outside the mailing list.

  The email announcing it from the mailing list said not to talk about it publicly until today; it was supposed to be an early backer pre-sale type deal yesterday, with a price of $205 instead of $256. Instead, it sold out entirely hours in, before the actual sale started... All things considered, that's a pretty awesome problem to have.

  Read the thread from [1]: "Please don't tweet [the sale] or post publicly until 9am PDT on the 29th. But feel free to share privately with friends." [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11998051 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11998051
