I doubt it was censored. Stuff just gets flagged by users, and personal allegations tend to among flagged stories.
But I'm curious if HN really shows different stories when logged in and logged out, which is what this particular post is alleging. I've never noticed that happen, but maybe I just didn't notice.

They log out. They cannot see any of their posts. That's not because that URL is banned, but because none of their posts are visible unless a logged in user has 'showdead' turned on in their profile.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoAh! Makes sense. And explains why I never would have seen it happen! :-)
