Hmm. Google seems to remember several threads on this debacle. HN seems to have memory holed them. Complete empty pages. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

  HN has been going up and down all day (I've been getting partial page loads on my profile). No conspiracy needed; there's just something busted.

  All stories on the site this morning were lacking any comments. Not specific to this story.

  I do like this exchange from the first: calylex on April 27, 2021 | unvote | next [–] You have no evidence to be smearing someone's name and defaming them on HN in this way. Stop this behavior until there is legal grounds for doing so. rodgerd on April 28, 2021 | parent | next [–] It's not defamation if it hasn't been judged so in a court of law. I guess it is now, but 3 years later seems damage has been done.

  A quick bit of math on the age/score of this story vs. others on the home page shows that this story has been deliberately buried. Probably by flags as opposed to human moderation, but in fairness to Jon Pretty, the moderators should step in and ensure this story gets equal access to the home page as the original witch hunt against Jon Pretty got.
