They really shouldn't. People don't get randomly shadowbanned. Turning it on just shows a whole lot of vile, aggressive, hysterical rubbish.

Do any social networks use GPT3 autogenerated replies to deceive the shadowbanned into thinking that they are not shouting into the void?

"vile, aggressive, hysterical rubbish." Also known as "wrongthink".

  No. People who get shut down here aren't being targeted ideologically, they don't have a school of thought, they're not special, they're not even articulate. They're just narcissistic angry people shouting for their personal satisfaction at the expense of everybody else.

Most dead comments are rubbish. Some are only unpopular. 1 dead comment is enough to shadow ban a new account apparently.

        It would be nice if I could privately message you on this board since my email account is not associated with my HN account... feels like a violation of privacy.

    You would know. But I look at old comments when I see good comments dead for no clear reason. I lost track of how many had a few live comments, 1 dead for obvious reasons comment, and all dead comments after.

      What are some examples? You might be seeing accounts that we banned, especially if the first dead comment is dead for obvious reasons. If you see a [dead] post that shouldn't be dead, you can vouch for it by clicking on its timestamp, then clicking 'vouch' at the top of its page. There's a small karma threshold (> 30) before vouch links appear. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cvouch https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cvouch
