Comment on Ask HN: Why others can't see my post even it is not dead?

Comments

Which post though ?

It's so strange, now others can see my post as well. The title of the post is: 'Why it's difficult to utilize the elasticity of the public cloud?'. When I encountered the issue, I also sent an email to the moderator explaining the situation. I wonder if it has anything to do with their intervention. Does Hacker News have a content review process?

Your post is [flagged] and [dead]. Flagged means someone flagged it because they think it doesn't follow the HN news guidelines [0] and [dead] is basically a shadowban.

I only skimmed the article in your post but I can understand that someone would flag it as breaking this guideline thinking that the article is just to promote automq.

Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

PS: There is also some kind of automod in place for new account so it might have been triggered, I dont have visibility or interest in how this works though.
