I respect that you've commented. It was something I upvoted. I checked through my upvoted submissions at the time and could no longer find it which was a first for me as either would expect it to have been flagged or deleted but shown. I remember being a little shocked when it was on the front page and shortly after was not. I've checked again from <4 months. Wonder if anyone else can recall the URL - I just remember it was a collective scholarly opinion with condemnation on the situation, it may not have been from opinionjuris but the article was very similar.

I wonder if you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38036236 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38036236? You'd need to turn showdead on in your profile to see that one. I'm pretty sure that the code that decides whether or not to display a [dead] post doesn't consider whether the user had upvoted the post before it became [dead]. Maybe it would be better if it did.

You'd need to turn showdead on in your profile to see that one. So, what happened? Edit: I can't even click the link on the post you mentioned. Is that normal? That seems especially suspect and somewhat closer to censoring opposing views than I've come to expect from you and HN, Dan. I have showdead enabled.

    So, what happened? Very likely flagged dead by users, as most things that show up as [flagged][dead] Is that normal? It is for dead submissions. Has been the case for ages.

      > It is for dead submissions. Has been the case for ages. For those with showdead enabled, why are links on dead submissions broken? Isn’t that the whole point of showdead, to actually show the post?

        I don't know but if I had to guess it's because some of these links could be abusive/harmful or spam. I don't think it makes much difference practically in the cases that they aren't since then it's not hard to recover the link with the info left, if you wanted to. It doesn't address the specific thing but you can see the broader logic here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20showdead%20worst%20of%20internet&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

    It was simply flagged by a lot of users.
