Because anti-woman and anti-black hate groups are trying to game HN with mass account creation and upvote spam.
- canttestthis 14y agoNewly created accounts cannot flag submissions or downvote comments, so no.
- goodwink 14y agoI think he was arguing that newly created accounts from those groups were upvoting and the deletion was to counter that. It seems equally far-fetched, but at least not technically impossible. I highly doubt though that the majority of people interested in this story fall into either of those two groups.
- evanpierce 14y agoNo no no, this post is a valid contribution. If you've been following this story closely you'll have noticed that it has leaked past the tech community here at HN and elsewhere, into the gender rights communities, and even into some extremist communities. It has been evoking a lot from a lot of differently interested people. Some eager moderation may be required to handle it appropriately at this point, for everyone's sake.
- whatshisface 14y agoThe link to the Facebook post about how she got fired from sendgrid got removed as well, so it is most likely that people just don't want us to be talking about this.
