Huh? I cut and pasted from your first link above.

Also you removed/downvoted my request that asked posters to identify regions they are hiring from, specifically one about Stockholm. I’m curious what motivates such actions.

Oh sorry, I totally missed that! Your use of quotation marks was just fine. I thought you were being snarky (as people sometimes do) and apologize for making the wrong assumption.

Do you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095800? I didn't remove or downvote it. I did detach it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095292 because it seemed to be a general comment that belonged at the top level, rather than a response to a particular job ad.

Well it applied to the Stockholm post mentioned. Some posts do mention it, others don't. I replied to a don't.

Wouldn't mind my post being moved to the "top" level, but in reality it means buried at the bottom. Especially since my account is a second-class citizen for some reason. Probably I had a bad day several years ago. :-/

>please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't

I searched thru algolia and that quote came at first from user queSide 1 month ago, not by mixmastamyk. Unless they're the same person or the search is flawed
