You say that, but upvote seems to have disappeared, re shadow banning thread.
This is why shadow banning is just stupid, deal with confrontation and ban properly or not at all - that is ignoring all of the other people it affects, I share an IP with 1000s of people, it could be them or it could be me, who knows because there is no feedback.
I do find it pretty funny that this needs to be explained to a HN audience, but then it's verging on a tech support forum with all the Facebook and Apple woe is me....
Interesting, it does intermittently appear, perhaps ad blocking is filtering it, also maybe js disabled might be related.
That is patently untrue, through - yes many people do confuse those, but shadow banning (stupid term but it is what it is) is a real thing - case in point I signed up for a twitch account (don't ask) and it appears because I signed up from a shared ip address (cgnat, 1000s of people) my chat shows sent in my browser but never appears - that is shadow banning and it is extremely cowardly.
(Proven with streams that show chat, also never informs my followers that I'm online, does not show in the online list on their side)
