Yes, it's over: https://medium.com/a-change-is-coming/learning-from-hacker-n...

It was "politics" not "highly charged topics" - eg a post about javascript frameworks was fine. And I have no idea how to tell if it's over or not.

The week-long experiment was terminated early. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13131251

It would have been over by now regardless.

I wish they had put that on the front page since I was still flagging political articles per the request in the original message.

Yeah, I think that would have been a good idea, too, especially as they kicked it off with a "Tell HN". I think they chose to address it as it came up in the comments. That said, this is getting off-topic :)

That's why I didn't call it an outright dupe. (I wish there were finer guidelines on "significant attention")
