Ask HN: How to post using a new throwaway account without posts being hidden?
I've recently tried creating a throwaway account in order to post about sensitive subjects. I've done this twice and both posts were hidden (I could see the post when logged in, but not when logged out).
Is there any way to avoid being hidden / flagged as spam?
- jlgaddis 12y agoFor the most part: "wait". I don't recall the specifics but, e.g., accounts created over Tor also run into this. After a period of time (~14d?), they come a little more "trusted" and this stops happening, IIRC.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoI've never had a new account get treated that way, when I occasionally make a new account when I don't have my password with me. If it's not Tor, it is probably the content of your posts that is making the difference.
