Just in recent memory: Anything relating to the scam MMO known as Dreamworld that Y combinator funded, and how its funding was possibly due to nepotism. Anything relating to the admin of KiwiFarm's rebuttal [1] of Byuu's attacks on his forum or how her suicide was proven fake. [1] https://kiwifarms.net/threads/my-response-regarding-byuu-near.93719/post-9328687 https://kiwifarms.net/threads/my-response-regarding-byuu-nea... There are others but either I can't remember them right now or I don't have adequate sources to them.

You're off on the first one. There was a lot of discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27319457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27319457 - May 2021 (238 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26898266 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26898266 - April 2021 (195 comments) Not only did we not censor that, I recall holding back on moderating it. We moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC-funded startup 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...). You're right about the second case - we moderated that as not on-topic for HN.
