176 points, 100 comments in 1 hour … downvoted by HN mods and off the front page immediately.

As a point of feedback, when mods get so obviously involved in suppressing content seemingly-valued by the community it would be nice to understand the motivation behind that.

How do you know it's downvoted by HN mods?
Do you have an alternative explanation? It was #2 when I first viewed this thread (with far less points and comments), and a few minutes later it was off the front page entirely.

But this question is exactly why I would like illumination. The mods could respond to my post and explain.

I am also surprised about that. I hope that is not the case.
