If you haven't seen censorship on HN, you haven't looked hard enough. I've seen whole threads disappear for nothing more than meta-(calling out the censorship).


I've seen whole threads disappear for nothing more than meta-(calling out the censorship).

Meta threads aren't allowed, so it shouldn't be surprising that those are deleted.

Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something (e.g. to ask us questions about Y Combinator, or to ask or complain about moderation). If you want to say something to us, please send it to info@ycombinator.com.


So much for a socratic free Internet. Someone should make a hacker news without censorship


There is actually lamernews: http://lamernews.com/ .

I have only vague memories of why this website appeared, but as far as I remember it has something to do with moderation.
