HN, to it's credit, at least permitted dissent without systematic bans for going against whatever was the officially blessed narrative of the day.


How would you know that? My account was banned.


I dissented regularly and vehemently and was not banned on HN.


It does however downvotes start to gray out comments and HN is still prone to brigading.


I don't see how that points to presence of systematic bans.


I didn’t say anything about bans.
