I'll probably get downvoted for asking, but I'm curious if there's a HN algorithm that's keeping most Ukraine and Israel related stories from appearing on the home page? It's been refreshing to read news on HN free of war related articles.

This Exchange Rate article is interesting. Not sure why it's dated Nov 2, 2023. Thought maybe I overslept by a week.

people generally know to flag hot topic stories so a lot of these get caught before there's serious moderator response.

The date refers to the issue date of the LRoB from which the article was extracted.

They're off-topic on HN anways, so I can believe a simple word filter is effective enough with very few false positives.

Do you happen to know if HN admins ever published a list of filters?

I don't believe so. They did mention a list of blocked domains though. You can always email and ask
