Reddit is banning any Aimee Challenor mention. UK public figure and Reddit admin
HN is also penalising threads that discuss this. This post has 74 upvotes in 27 minutes and 11 comments at time of writing. Ordinarily it would significantly outrank most of the other posts on the front page, but it doesn't seem to be able to break past #15. Either this is because HN users are flagging it, or because something else is going on. As Reddit is a YC company it'd be really nice to hear an explanation.This exact same thing happened with the previous threadshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26554697andhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26556187There are some awful transphobic comments in those threads, but they appeared _after_ the threads had been penalised.
