I have noticed a lot of the downvotong of things critical of YCombinator and it's bias against topics it doesn't like. I even have emails where the moderator or employee refuses to acknowledge or explain why I was downvoted and not others. It was eye opening that experience and reading this list doesn't surprise me. Everyone has an agenda.
- dang 5y agoWhat you're "noticing" is not accurate. HN gets tons of comments that are critical of YC and YC-funded startups. We don't censor those, and in fact we moderate less, not more, when YC is involved: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20moderate%20less%20%22not%20more%22%20yc&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... Your description of those emails doesn't match my memory. I spent hours trying to explain things to you. That was not a refusal to explain.
