This thread seems actively being burried by HN. Now it's flagged as dupe and the previous thread from yesterday also quickly disappeared from the front page after gaining traction. Why are threads that get tons of upvotes and have active commenting going on getting kicked off the frontpage? YCombinator invested in RethinkDB and HN is a YCombinator platform so they have an interest in suppressing speculation or bad news but I think manipulation here goes a bit too far. HN mods: what happened here?

The previous discussion was buried too. I'd also like to know why a link with +250 points is modded away. Obviously they are trying to keep it on the dl, but we really need some transparency when HN the news site conflicts with YC the fund. Edit: Here's a semi-buried sctb response: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12631225 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12631225
