Man it's pretty crazy seeing all those reasonable looking stories flagged and made dead.

Also what's with the blue non-link links? Never seen that before on HN.

It really is. There have always been 'third rail' topics that get rapidly flagged despite community interest, but I've never seen so many.

No idea; all the links seem to work for me anyway.

What's interesting to me is how what constitutes a 'third rail' topic changes over time.

A quick search will show that it used to be fine to talk about Curtis Yarvin on here a decade ago but now that he's more relevant than ever it's suddenly taboo?

Did Curtis Yarvin and the ideas he espouses suddenly become less interesting or are a group of people working together to prevent critical discussion of his ideas?
