Hackernews almost never actually deletes things (afaik they only do if there is a legal requirement or in exceptional circumstances after human review). Instead of being deleted comments/posts get marked as dead and hidden by default. You can enable viewing dead posts in your profile. Basically they implement the strategy discussed here https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/moderation-is-different-from-censorship https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/moderation-is-differen... Its the best of both worlds. People who get offended easily or just don't want to deal with low quality content can view the moderated content only. But if the moderation gets taken too far they can opt in to viewing the unmoderated content as well. Also I'll bite on your challenge https://kiwifarms.net/ https://kiwifarms.net/ is the current URL.
