And 404 is also not banned, right?

As a noob here on HN, that's what I gathered from your previous comment:

> In the year since, a bunch of their original reporting has hit the front page

So, a year ago, before my time, 404 media was moderated in a way that seemed like a ban, but now it no longer appears to be shadowbanned, is that what I'm learning?

Don't forget that complaining about paywalls is actually against the rules. So how did the site get that ban in the first place?
