So much for free speech...
I would post photos holding today's newspaper to prove ownership of both accounts. Probably not worth the trouble anyway
- woutr_be 6y agoYou got banned because some automated system might’ve concluded you were a bot or spam account. You didn’t get banned because of the context of your speech. (At least not to my knowledge)
- throwawei369 6y agoOh. How convenient this automated system concluded I was a bot right immediately after the above comment received downvotes... I checked and there's no mention anywhere on HN guidelines about bans/limitations. This info should be made available to users. Anyway maybe am asking too much from HN....
