As someone who really understands the feeling of frustration caused by unfair censorship - I'd like to point out that Daniel, the HN admin, is a very chill and understanding dude.
I'm sure if you contact him at hn@ycombinator.com and ask politely, you'll either get un-shadowbanned or a very good explanation of why not. He's a person, like you or me, not a personification of megacorps.

Alternatively, you can keep doing nothing but commenting about how oppressed you are. That's also an option. It won't accomplish anything, but it would feel very pleasant for someone with persecution fantasies.
- unknownaccount 4y agoThanks for your suggestion. The reason why Ive commented about it isnt because I have a persecution fantasy, but because the community deserves to know this is going on and if anyones similarly been affected that they arent alone.
- dang 4y agoMuch of the community does know. None of these practices are secret - we're always happy to answer questions about them and have been doing so for years.
- unknownaccount 4y agoDoes the community really know that all it takes to take away another user's posting privileges is to flag their posts and complain to you a few times from fake accounts? I doubt it, but thanks for confirming that's how the process works.
