I think that HN itself also shadow flags submissions from a list of domains it doesn't like. Try submitting a URL from the following domains, and it will be automatically flagged (but you can't see it's flagged unless you log out): - archive.is - watcher.guru - stacker.news - zerohedge.com - freebeacon.com - thefederalist.com - breitbart.com

Well, yes, many sites are banned on HN. Others are penalized (see e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... ). None of this is secret, though we don't publish the lists themselves. Edit: about 67k sites are banned on HN. Here's a random selection of 10 of them: vodlockertv.com biggboss.org infoocode.com newyorkpersonalinjuryattorneyblog.com moringajuice.wordpress.com surrogacymumbai.com max…

And you don't see that as censorship?

The difference is that HN is explicitly heavily moderated while Twitter pretends to be an equitable free speech platform.

Good. Hacker News isn't an open-ended political site for people to post weird propaganda.

How's archive.is "weird propaganda"?

This forum never said they’re a free speech haven.

i mean, you can stop visiting the site, no? just leave, bro. it's not that hard. there are other means to connect to people.

Unfortunately not. All of my local government agencies - Police, Fire, DOT, Weather Service, Emergency Management updates, etc. are exclusively on twitter - they frequently post things there they don't even post to their own websites.
