Not sure why you think you're banned, I can see your comment.

It appears flagged to me but I was able to see it before. Maybe it took a while to show up, so the user edited the comment to complain about Marxist moderation, unaware that it had not been removed by mods, causing the mods to remove it..?

It's flagged and dead, so you may need showdead on to see it, but it's still there.

AFAIK the mods never actually delete content from the site. I don't even know if they can.

They do actually remove threads sometimes, I've seen an off topic flame war disappear pretty quickly.

They delete content all the time... and they ban people all the time, without regard for whether they have done anything wrong.

Of course, since they delete the content you can't see the record of their actions.

I've seen dang insult someone, calling them names, while telling them they need to be civil. Total hypocrisy.

And that's why you never get any decent discussion here..... it's an echo chamber.

See anything in my comments that deserve a ban?

Why are you still here? Your profile says you left, and your comment history indicates that you're convinced everyone here is wrong (but you, of course), and/or actively silencing you. I really don't understand that kind of behavior!

I don't really, but lots of comments in same thread. Its probably really hard to moderate at hn scale, they brought on a new guy not too long ago who afaik still mods under dangs alias. Have you sent them an email to ask for an unban?
