Doesn't matter. Comrade Dang probably already throttled you. Also you can get shadow-banned so your up- and down-votes as well as flagging and vouching do nothing. Only "good" users and their opinions are allowed!
Thanks kernel_lover!
I don't think he did, he is a very civil person, by any standards. I get flagged occasionally, when talking about topics similar to that of this article, but don't think that Dang has anything to do with it.
(on the other hand, I got less involved with Hacker News, probably because I don't have much to say about AI/LLM and because of that discernible bias in middle east politics over here)
Hey dang so you just silently shadow-banned that user? That's what it definitely looks like. Not that I care but they seem to be right about you if you did.
Yes, when there's evidence that an account is someone whom we've banned in the past and that they're making new accounts to post abusively, we (sometimes) shadowban those later accounts. You can find past explanations about that here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
In this case you've been using multiple accounts to post in the same thread in ways that are misleading and abusive. That's clearly over the line, so I'm banning this account (and also saying so). If you would please stop creating accounts to break HN's rules with, that would be good.
