why cant we? are you self-censoring because there's some policy forbidding us to talk about something clandestine here?
i dont have access to the joke, or inside club, or inner sanctum, and maybe theres other people like me that want to know more and if the mystery is self-imposed then i might respectfully push back that we cant talk about it
It's a meta discussion, but comments who go against popular opinion amongst HN commenters get increasingly down voted, flagged, [dead]. And it's rarely any extreme or rule-breaking comments. I wrote "against popular opinion", but that might not even be it. It could be that there's a minority of very active users who see it as their job to prune this message board of undesirable opinions.
Probably a bunch of them have opened my submission history in a new tab by now to mass downvote or look for evidence that I'm not a human, but in fact a bot, a paid shill, an AI, a Russian citizen, etc.
