You have a long list of good comments, so it's worth telling you that you were shadow banned at least 6 months ago... I just vouched for this comment and I have showdead enabled.

  Yikes, he was shadowbanned in August of 2017 after creating the account in June 2017 and has been commenting into the void ever since!

      In your profile, enable showdead. The history goes back a way. Seeing all those unaddressed, never-seen comments causes me some personal existential self-examining on the value (or rather, potential non-value) of my own thoughts :)

        So why can I see his comment then? if he's shadowbanned? because you commented?
        fao_ 7y ago
        Because I vouched for it

        Its super de-motivational. Par for the course with everything these daysthough.

      I don't think it's lol myself, this guy's a good commenter who didn't pick up fast enough on the "politesse above all--even truth, decency and humanity" rules and norms that are in place here on HN. :\

        Amen. HN hates any taboo thought crimes.

        Thinking is fine, speaking can be problematic. And if you believe speech can do no harm, it can not possibly do good, either. Or we could just randomly generate text and improve the world.

  If we can see the comment now, does that mean they're unbanned or that your "vouch" action undeaded that comment?
  - iron0013 7y ago
    The latter.

  fao_ -- Thanks a lot for that gesture! Very kind. I did not realize I was shadow banned at all and I'm not sure why I would have been. It does sum up "the internet" in 2019 perfectly for me though.
