It's weird that this was near the top of the comments (second under the pinned one by the CEO) and has now been pushed way down the very bottom. I'd suspect replit has special mod powers that they're using here to manipulate the conversation via their investments from ycombinator. Interesting.

Replit doesn't have special mod powers but a HN moderator downweighted this subthread, the same way we do any generic/indignant/offtopic subthread when we see it. That's standard HN moderation.

In this case we did so less than we normally would because we moderate HN less when the topic is a YC co - see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... for lots of past explanation.

I for one downvoted it and I have no relationship with Replit.
