Now this is interesting.. when this had 17 votes in 17 minutes I was like "yeah this is gonna get flagged" so I left it open in a tab. Now I see it's not flagged, yet I can't find it on the first 20 pages of the front page, either.
- jppope 2y agoI went looking and you are correct. Super interesting. It appears there's some auto mod feature or something?
- rl3 2y agoIt's nothing new; happens frequently. My guess is it's a compromise between a hard flag kill that silences all discussion, and letting the submission continue trending.

- rl3 2y agoGood. The discussion quickly became the 2025 version of this, everyone proceeding to argue with him: https://thehardtimes.net/blog/why-i-quit-my-job-and-left-my-wife-to-defend-elon-musk-online-full-time/ https://thehardtimes.net/blog/why-i-quit-my-job-and-left-my-...
- computerthings 2y agoGood what? I wasn't complaining that shit gets memory holed here, I observed something I had never seen before. The discussion seems generally really informative, it's mostly the people who don't want the topic discussed who are shit at discussing it. It's a skill issue.
- bloomingkales 2y agoAnnmnnnnnd we’re flagged.
- FreakLegion 2y agoThis is normal. Each user flag downranks the post until it accumulates enough of them to be "flagged".
- nmz 2y agoI do wonder why they downvoted, denial? ideological capture? are the majority of users in HN oligarchs?
