tl;dr HTTPS is now mandatory for logged-in users on Wikipedia and other projects, except in China and Iran where HTTPS can be blocked.

Arkanosis, your comment is shown.as dead. no idea why, maybe you tripped into a spam filter? If you were hellbanned, I don't see why, that's why this comment.

this story was discussed already a week ago or so I believe.

Thank you for telling me.

I guess my submission would be dead too if I were hellbanned.

Anyway, it's not a big deal since the comment is just a tl;dr, but I've no idea why it isn't visible.

Maybe this thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6143244
