- dang 3y agoUsers flagged it. Mods didn't touch it.
- version_five 3y agoWould you like more of the front page to be people lobbing vague allegations at YC funded companies? The only reason it isn't flagged to death is because they make a point of staying out of YC stuff, it's definitely not front page material.

- dtornabene 3y agothe idea that this forum "makes a point of staying out of YC stuff" is absurd, aside from the money, this site literally advertises for YC companies, on top of many other examples.

- dtornabene 3y agoReading these its quite obvious that they do, in fact, moderate on behalf of YC companies, they just proclaim that its "less, not more", which is utterly meaningless without examples or explicit rules and given that dang himself or someone he reports to or reports to him literally edited configs for the webserver so that the referrer headers on urls to asahi linux would evade a soft block, I'm kind of at a loss as to why I should believe them. Its bizarre and embarrassing that people are giving them a charitable read on this.

- jwilber 3y ago46 minutes later and it’s still on the front page. Does that change what you consider “telling” or not?
- dtornabene 3y agomatter of fact it does not, as when I posted this originally it was literally the last item on the front page. So, no. But keeping carrying water for this website and its companies! I'm sure they'll be real appreciative! Edit: I should also note it is not on the front page any more
