Have a look here (make sure to enable dead posts in your account):<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hashnode.dev - https://i.imgur.com/joAk5kH.png<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=dev.to - https://i.imgur.com/dw06r2Q.png<p>Almost all the posts from Dev.to and Hashnode are marked [dead], it's like 98%!<p>Maybe it's because users are promoting their blogs on those two platforms, but why Medium links are okay?<p>And the most frustrating thing, especially for new HN users, [dead] posts are not visible in HN but are for the user who submitted them, so the user thinks that his submission is visible on HN but it's not.<p>Am not going to give the mods orders but I think at least I have the right to know if my submission is marked [dead].<p>What do you guys think about that?
Do you know any other links that gets marked [dead] automatically ?
You can just write the email in the Contact link at the bottom of the page with questions to the mods. And the reason for not telling the poster that a link is dead is that they will just try to circumvent the block immediately.
This question could be best answered by Daniel <i>dang</i>, hn @ ycombinator.com. The automated scoring and flagging algorithm's are not publicly available AFAIK.
Look at this user for example, he was posting for a year and guess what, for a year of posting, all of his submissions are dead, without him knowing, only the first 9 submissions from 2021 that are visible, only 9 from ~58 and he keeps posting because he don't know that his submissions are not visible.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=alkeshghorpade.me" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=alkeshghorpade.me</a> - <a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ely4AfP.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Ely4AfP.png</a><p>I don't think this is right
