Oh okay, in that case I can understand why it was taken down. I'm assuming you're https://github.com/untitaker, and I respect your projects a lot. Did you get any troll PRs from them?

Yeah, Hacker News is full of not only censorship, but doing it secretly. I've been on this site since at least 2007.
For instance, I once had my account hellbanned for talking about how I'd met grace hopper as a kid. Seriously, was the only post in weeks and then poof, gone.

I know there have been changes, but Hacker News should have a transparency report. Or some transparency.
