- zoba 1y agoAnd thats exactly what happened. Insane.
- binarymax 1y agoWe’ve seen lots of posts about DOGE get killed. It’s not far fetched to think they are actively working to keep news like this off HN’s front page.
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoIt's important to remember that a large proportion of the community just wants to see tech stories here, and not anything perceived as political. And I totally get where they're coming from (this stuff is super exhausting and depressing). That being said, this story in particular seems squarely in the HN wheelhouse, but I can understand that others disagree. tl;dr probably not a conspiracy, just people who think differently than you do.
- whalesalad 1y agoSo odd. The dupe detector usually works really well. 9 times out of 10 when I submit a story, it already exists, and I just get redirected there. I rely on it actually, knowing that I can submit things freely and they will either get collapsed into the existing one, or start a new story. This time it did not work? URLs are the same. Sometimes people dupe the dupe detector with an arbitrary query string ... but in this case they are truly identical. Odd.
