alt Hacker NewsEven worse is the Reddit approach, where leaving your VPN on will get your account shadow banned permanently. But you are not notified of that, so if you are wondering why nobody is replying to your comments, check in a private session if you can visit your profile page.

i can live without reddit and hackernews. i can't live without online banking, bill paying, insurance, healtchare portals, etc.
it is funny i have been probing HN for years, and i've found a number of cases when everything is normal, but i check the account from another device and it isn't there, or is free of posts despite having made many. yet i would do the same if i was an admin trying to keep a walled-garden free of trolls.

How about not using Reddit at all? It's awful.
Check reddit.com/appeals some time after creating an account. If you are auto shadow banned, you can appeal.
