> I'm usually auto-flagged/shadow-banned/banned after one or two comments,
Maybe there is a reason? I had my comments downvoted, but thinking about this, it was deserved, those comments were really not constructive and severely lacking in empathy. No one normal likes reading such things and HN is a place where it matters. It's not a place to just vent.
No one 'normal' in my world would like most of the popular comments here (except to laugh at them). That's subjective.
I don't believe that I should be excluded from participating in good faith because of my race or political views. HN should be a place that welcomes diversity of thought, be it from a BLM activist or a White nationalist.
People are welcome to hit the disagree button. I don't care about that. I don't even mind much if I'm brash and the comment is flagged, as above.
I do care when my civil comments are flagged for wrongthink, and I do care when they are immediately censored. Then it's time for a new account.
