This Hacker News app for Android is relatively small and readable, plus it would be great to get some more contribution going. Look into it. https://github.co

  Great! My shadow ban has been kind of subtle on the normal (desktop) HN version, but it was kind of too obvious on the mobile version. I think HN can do much better passive aggressive-wise, and waste people's time even more, on the mobile version. I intend to delve into that code base so that the mobile version can be as cryptic and still-works-but-kind-of-stand-off-ish like the desktop, with random long loading times, "you're submitting too fast" messages, shadow banned comments, etc. Again, thanks for bringing that to my attention! Passive aggressive bans will soon be a force on mobile, too!
