Hey man, just a heads up: You're currently shadow-banned on HN so your comments are automatically hidden. I don't think there's anything you can do about it but I'd want to know.

I feel comfortable telling you because most of your content isn't inflammatory, so I fear you might have been wrongly filtered out.

careful, dang will threaten you for doing this. I used to do this, and he eventually showed up and said to stop.

i encourage others to question this behavior and vouch gratuitously, otherwise we'll hivemind ourselves. when vc stops being en vogue, hn loses about 50% of its luster, and whats left will rely on the quality and diversity of discussion here. the day will come where yc shits the bed and there is someone new, don't leave yourself without a nerd community if/when that happens by encouraging samethink.

edit: now the user's <5 minute old grey posts are un-vouchable. this is fucking pathetic

Never question authority publicly; they'll be on to you and can stop you.

[aliqot]

ill do what i feel is just, they can try and stop me, but there will be more like me.

Truly a posting martyr. Thank you for your service.

Send Dang an email. They’ve responded personally when I’ve sent stuff to the admin email in the FAQs.

They will be polite and responsive even if you both don’t agree on something.

gratuitous vouching will lead to your vouching ability to also be shadowbanned. The hive mind rules this place just like any other.
