Unfortunately that is not it. Thanks for the suggestion. I did read that one but the post I saw last night was more broad and covered general news instead of mainly social media.

Shucks. If you turn on "showdead" on https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=GimbalLock, then some of the lists (like https://news.ycombinator.com/active) still show flagged submissions, maybe that could help you find it?

Great advice. I wasn't aware of showdead. Someone else already found the link I was after but I will keep this technique in mind in case I need it in the future.

Probably the post on jwz's site. I'm not linking because he serves up ugly images if you click from hacker news.
