5 sats \ 7 replies \ @ek 17 Apr 2023 \ parent \ on: Daily discussion thread
Seems like my comments on HN are immediately getting shadowbanned.
They show up as [dead] when using inkognito:
#165693
This is what I posted:
Will contact dang to ask if there is a way to get them to show up or what rules I am breaking.
Most likely there was some kind of scam detection that got triggered. So many scam bots mentioning Bitcoin exist that they may have a filter for it.

Yes, could very well be it. I just sent an email:
To: hn@ycombinator.com Subject: Dead comments from stackernewsHi Hacker News,I am the creator behind the recently created "stackernews" account. [0] I am fetching top stories from HN and posting them on https://stacker.news/, a site which is very similar to Hacker News but where upvotes are satoshis. For example, see this post: #164952I wanted to provide the OP from HN the option to claim these sats. So I thought I would post a comment like this:Your post received 1148 sats and 11 comments on https://stacker.news [0]. To claim your sats, reply to this comment with a LN address or invoice [1]. You can create a SN account to obtain a LN address. [0] #164952 (referral link) [1] https://docs.lightning.engineering/the-lightning-network/pay...However, I have noticed that these comments show up as [dead] in incognito so I think they are getting shadowbanned. Is there something in that comment which is not allowed? If so, I would be very happy to remove it to make the comments show up.I have no ill intentions with these comments. I only want to provide the OPs the chance to claim these sats (if they want).Looking forward to hearing from you.Best Regards XXXXXXXXXXX

Yes, sorry, but you can't post those comments to Hacker News. They're simply off topic.It's also not in your interest to do so, in my experience; I don't think the community will react well to such posts. For one thing, there's way too much cynicism around cryptocurrency stuff now; for another, they will be interpreted as an ad for your site, which will lead people to use unkind words like 'spam'.

That's fair

Yeah, I replied with:
Okay, I can see how these comments can be considered off topic.Thanks for the clarification and fast response!
But the part about "not in my interest" sounds like a benevolent dictator. This is why we need nostr.

I guess you called it!

I literally just want to give value back. Kinda ironic that HN doesn't seem to like that, lol
But maybe I just triggered some automatic mechanism.
Hopefully dang will understand that these comments have no ill intention.
