>You seem to be using terms like "brigading" and "shadow ban" without any understanding of what they actually mean. It could be that this sloppy communication leads to many of your downvotes, more than some nefarious cabal.

Here's 3 pretty good definitions of brigading, and these agree with me.

In terms of shadow ban, also proper usage when clearly I haven't been "posting too fast". It's an obvious shadow ban that lines up with the hour.

The discussion of definitions is silly however. You blame me for sloppy communication. I accept the criticism. Perhaps I am using terminology people don't know or understand. I didn't communicate my message as properly as could have been. This is a failing on my part.

Lets try without either term.

Overall, I find when you go against the echo chamber and get harassed and manipulated on HN and aren't allowed to post for hours because they don't like what you said. This is not conducive to have conversations or discussions. All HN seems to be is everyone agreeing with each other.

What's the point of HN if you cannot have conversations with others?
