> baybal2: All your submissions and comments on HN are ”dead” and not visible to users
Thanks for making me look.
It's unfortunate. baybal2's comments are thought provoking. I'm not sure what nationality he is, but the non-western perspective he brings does add a lot. (Edit: ethnic Chinese, Russian passport. The perspective I'm seeing is someone with a deep understanding of the authoritarian mindset. His understand of the western mindset is not so good. The contrast between the two mindsets is very enlightening.)
Even more thought provoking is their automatic "dead" status. It seems some pychops activity is happening here on HN, right under our very noses.
It's a pity I have to hack the CSS to read them. But I guess I should be thankful I can do that. If the web had evolved into something like PDF, I couldn't.

Edit: I've read a lot of his comments now. Even innocuous stuff like this is [dead]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34565515 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34523525 Someone has really got it in for him. It's amazing you can pull a stunt like this off on HN. Here I was thinking it would be immune to such malarkey.
