TerryADavis might have something meaningful to say here if given the chance. Can YC selectively un-auto-[dead] people?

And today I learn about Terry Davis, TempleOS and showdead. Moderation and censorship is a travesty online. Fortunately showdead allows us to bypass it somewhat.

There's a distinction between going out and censoring people, and not letting them post anything they want on your domain.

Soon the community will be able to selectively un-auto-[dead] comments. We've been working on this for a long time. It's currently in alpha testing, and indeed the alpha-testers (not moderators) unkilled https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10282575, which is precisely the intent of the feature.
