I'm new to the site. Seems you are controlling things around here (moderator to say). Why are my comments only visible when I'm logged in? as soon as I logout and look at the comments on this article as unregistered user, I do not see any of my comments. That gives false sense that everyone is looking at my comments but in reality they are being hidden. That makes me think other users even when they are logged in the website will not see my comments because they are censored Probably as comments are not in line with rhetoric of those in charge of this site, maybe? Is it a way to censor what YC does not agree with? I never knew this existed.

Please explain if otherwise.



Your comments were killed by anti-abuse software that detects past patterns by trolls. The software looks to me to have gotten it right. You've been posting comments that don't fit the site guidelines and creating multiple accounts to do it.

HN moderation is based on https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html, not YC.

Political or ideological battle is not what the site is intended for, so we ban accounts that use it primarily for that purpose.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13833091 and marked it off-topic.
