Was on the front page for a brief moment is how I actually discovered it and the link. Gone after I finished reading it, doesn't show as 'flagged' yet but it's definitely been removed cause I can't find it in the top 5 pages.. unfortunate.
Quite interesting actually, I saw Brennan's video from that day as I'm sure everyone following the events did. Even saw some of the 'trolls and bots' on Twitter claiming it was fake and staged in the comments.
Had no idea it would spread to the point of doxxing (of his entire family?!) and fake anthrax emails. That's scary.
But great line from the article: "My parents’ sole precaution was to pick the remaining tomatoes from their garden, “so the Nazis wouldn’t get them.”

I feel like this is evidence that HN cultivates content beyond merely 'flagged'/'removed'. I've never thought that lobste.rs "moderation log" feature was very interesting until now.
- yorwba 9y agoAs I understand it, flagging and the flamewar detector both reduce the rank of a submission, even if it doesn't become completely hidden. When mods manually intervene, they tend to leave a comment that says so. Of course they could just omit it, but I trust them not to do that.
