Or shadow bans even ...

  A friend's account was shadow banned for discussing tech unionization in the era of certain companies pushing the "10x/unicorn engineer" myth. It accumulated quite a number of up votes as well.

    it may be worth checking to see if your friend made other comments around the same time that may have actually been the source of a shadow ban. I've had half a dozen times where someone linked to a comment that supposedly got another account shadow-banned, and I looked at their history and found another comment made at about the same time that was a much more likely culprit. Like, "I got shadow-banned for this comment about memory management in iOS" "... you sure it wasn't for this comment from a few hours earlier about how people who vote for the other political party are [long list of expletives]?"

      He's a lawyer who runs a blog that dips into related topics often. His identity was clearly associated with his account, so I doubt he was making such comments. I'll see if I can get the account details because it's renewed my interest.
