Threads about Apple have been getting torpedoed to the second page all day. I suspect it's because the moderators don't want the entire front page to be posts on the same general topic, but it is frustrating when there are multiple developments in a short time.
Can confirm, 380 points, 2 hours ago. Position 36. Why?
Are there algorithms on HN, that sort through previous discussions and determine freshness, etc?
Or is it a moderator/human review
Afaik it’s a human review. But they could as well add a label like (dupe) so we didn’t have to be hugely surprised when a post disappears when reloading the homepage.
Becuase Apple took their 3000% cut
Stop using the original HN site already. Moderation is highly opinionated. It is better to use alternative clients, then you won't miss out.
