Users flagged it. Moderators didn't touch it. That's routine.

You can call it censorship if you want to but it's a community reaction.

I have to assume it was an algorithm and not a person.

I think everyone on HN could learn from this situation. I'm not sure how to contact mods but maybe reach out to them...maybe the algorithm took it out due to profanity?

Best of luck!

I think all self posts get penalised. You should have written a blog post and linked to that.

You can try emailing the mods and asking them to lift the penalty.

It could have been flagged by an algorithm, or may be some over-eager Discord developers to remove this post from public appearance.

Did HN steal your work?

Hello, troll

I'm not trolling you, i'm asking you what HN has to do with this. You got all huffy at HN for not featuring your post crying about a license and then implied HN is at fault for stealing your work and then "censoring" you. Get off your high horse and try not to act like an emotional child if you want people to take you seriously.

Personal attacks and uncivil comments will get your account banned here, so please stop doing that.

IMHO, you aren't going to get any respect from HN mods for being "correct".

Group-Think is what runs things around here not fairness.
