“ A few months ago, I was also shadow banned on Hacker News. I have no idea why, and I doubt that I will ever know.”<p>@Dang are people ever shadow banned, and does the system tell them this?<p>I vehemently disagree with shadow banning, it seems cowardly. If someone is to be silently muzzled or shadow banned, if you will, I think it’s proper transparency to notify them of this.
