That's cool ... just ignore twitter/FB. Do you realize yc is kinda social media too? And we're expressing opinions without people being too belittled/shunned .

  >And we're expressing opinions without people being too belittled/shunned ... No. Unpopular opinions get flagged and shadow-banned instantly here.

    You're getting banned because you've been serially creating accounts to break the site guidelines with. Would you please stop doing that? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      So, why did my first account get banned?
      • dang 6y ago
        What was your first account?

          This one: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=AntiImperialist https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=AntiImperialist There was no explanation. The shadow-ban must have happened shortly after I posted an unpopular comment which received a lot of downvotes, which is why I assumed that it had to be some sort of automatic action.

  Do I need to comment on the irony of a killed/flagged comment replying to yours stating that unpopular opinions are killed or flagged here immediately?

    Cue someone replying that they only flagged and downvoted it because it was lol so ironic.
