That's because of the HN security. It prints all passwords as stars. You can try putting your HN password in a comment, it would be visible only by you, and the others will not see it.
I guess you're right. My HN password is *****. When I edit, I can see it, but when I save the comment, it becomes starred. It even randomizes the length every time I save. Brilliant!

FIY, your archive link is not working too at the moment. What do we do? Sigh I put on my robe and wizard hat https://web.archive.org/web/20190228221758/http://www.bash.o...
Works for me. Do note that archive.is blocks CloudFlare DNS.

You call it censorship, I call it freedom of association. These are private organizations deciding what they allow on their own platforms. But more importantly the “kind of humor” your originally highlighted is absolutely alive, as evidenced by your own point that people use words to get around whatever censorship there is of the most extreme versions of that humor.
The older I get the less useful I think this distinction between "official" and "unofficial" is. "Officially" King Charles can dissolve the UK parliament, but "unofficially" he can't. Power is power and we know it when we see it. So yes I would call being banned or having your language limited by major global platforms "censorship", despite the fact that officially they're just private organisations.

neither of those things use IRC. unless you're just referring to channel-based instant messaging.
Even if Slack doesn't IRC it is absolutely based on it, down to slash commands and channel name syntax.
