Ask HN: Do HN Mods censor stories unfavorable to their “investments”?

Nope, we make a point of not doing that. See https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for lots of explanations.

Your submissions were flagged by users, presumably because they were sensational cryptocurrency stories, which users here are tired of.

Thank you for replying dang.

Transparency in moderation here at HN is immensely appreciated and respected.

I pay attention to [dead] stories and I am completely outside the YC system and I don't see much evidence of this.

This particular story sounds both political and fake in the sense that I doubt a single murder will take place.

I imagine it’s been removed for being sensationalist, misleading cryptocurrency spam.
