Seems to be a censorship campaign targeting 404 Media. Been going on for at least weeks.

Submissions from some domains aren’t prevented but automatically get deaded. It’s not a campaign.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43891088 in which a user reports that moderator dang said why that happens for this domain.

Sounds like the definition of a censorship campaign, implemented by HN itself.

The fact that archive link works should make this eligible for unflagging. From tomhow (mod)

Anything with a potentially negative impact on Musk, Trump or DOGE seems to get flagged immediately. Coordinated or not it extremely frustrating people flag rather than honestly engage.
