They use "newf*gs" on 4chan, I assume that word is banned here so the above posters are censoring it.


newfags? if you see this comment, then it is not censored


It’s been 14 hours so there definitely no auto filter. It’s kind of a testament to the moderating here that I’ve been on hacker news for 6+ years and never once have I tried to use a slur.


I can read it, so it's not even (yet) shadowbanned.


I don't think it will get shadowbanned if it hasn't already got shadowbanned:P


Or the people who manually moderate HackerNews just haven't gotten to it yet.
