The linked blog post is a complaint about a different blog post[1] being briefly popular on HN and then dropping off into the weeds rapidly, becoming flagged, and mysteriously becoming unflagged.
Obviously, this must the result of proactive, willful censorship or maybe some kind of deep-state conspiracy.
By extension, it could never have been the result of HN's automated flamewar detector reacting to 29 of the 145 comments being from just one user who seemed to spend most of their efforts telling others that they were wrong.
(That user may in fact be authoritative on the topic, but it looks like a flamewar from my own 10,000-foot overview of this discussion that I have zero personal interest in.)
