I don't find this particular lawsuit or issue all that interesting or important, but there is a curious meta-topic surrounding its reception on HN and Reddit. Users on Reddit are claiming that admins (note, employee admins, not mods) are censoring the subject, and I noticed a highly upvoted story about it here on HN the other day vanished as soon as it hit the top spot. Any admins or mods here want to weigh in on why this can't be discussed?
Edit: It seems like this thread is already sliding down the rankings against its popularity. Is this due to people flagging it or has a mod/admin set it to fall faster manually?
- tehwebguy 11y agoHot topics usually do slide down the rankings pretty quickly, pg and dang mentioned this over the years. You probably remember when bitcoin, NSA and Assange were like every other article on the home page a few years back.
- FireBeyond 11y agoOne thing I didn't know is that Ellen Pao sued for $144M in punitive damages. Which is coincidentally the amount to the dollar that her husband is being sued for (and expected to lose) over his Ponzi scheme that bankrupted three Louisiana pension schemes.
