Ask HN: Do you think there's censorship on HN?

It could just be me, so I'd like to know what everyone thinks: lately there have been significant geopolitical tensions and multiple wars being fought.

However, I have a feeling that not all news make it to the top of HN and I was wondering whether this is just a coincidence or there's chance that specific posts are being buried on purpose by the moderators and/or any algorithms.

I know this might sound like conspiracy theory. This is not my intention. I just want to know if anyone else is surprised by the lack of coverage on the front page with regards to the recent wars.
