ye, I got into a rather angry argument with another user about Hellenistic Antiquity.
I was told back then. What impact does being shadowbanned have? Have I been shouting into the void these past few months?
Yes, a lot of people won't see your comments since the default is NOT to show the dead ones, and I have to "vouch" for your comments to be able to reply.
I agree - I find the whole mess, with flag / dead / shadowbanned, to be extremely cowardly. It reminds me of Hettinga [1], who would quietly delete comments he disagreed with from his blog. In both cases it was an issue of "private property so they can do what they want" but I still dislike it.
