I think it may be getting (intentionally?) suppressed from the homepage. Given this is a YCombinator website, I wouldn't rule that out.

Regardless, it's been an ongoing issue. I know a few involved companies — it takes basically 5 days to get a SOC 2 Type 2 report through Delve. And, of course, they market this way too: "SOC 2 in days". Unbelievable.

In case anyone hasn't seen my other posts about this:

(1) I had no idea this story existed and woke up to claims that I was obviously* suppressing it.

(2) I looked into it and found that no moderator had touched either of the two submissions of the story, but that both submissions had set off HN's voting ring detector. (Whether there was a voting ring or not, I don't know - that software isn't perfect. It has held up well over the years though.)

(3) We merged the two discussions and placed the merged thread on the front page.

(4) Why? Because we moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is part of a story: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... This is literally the #1 principle of moderation in the sense that it was the very first thing that pg drilled into me: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

I see the submission time as an hour ago, so it actually looks like it got a second-chanced, i.e. boosted by the site admins.

It's a trending story on X. Was surprised there was no meaty discussion here on HN.
