I want to add a slightly off topic point here.
This submission was originally shown as [dead]. I have no idea why, I read some of the content and seems decent enough, especially in the current state of things when JPEG-XL is blocked because of AOM / Google Chrome. I vouched for it and upvoted, then somehow it is on the front page.
I wonder if dead means somehow flagged it. If so, then why? If not, why is it dead?
- carlosjobim 1y agoAlmost every new submission to Hacker News gets [dead] and [flagged] for no reason, and somebody has to vouch for it. I don't know if it's automated system or some kind of activists who are stalking the New section.
- encom 1y agoFlagging seems to be used like a super downvote on both submissions and comments. Admins appear okay with it.
