For some reason the good people at Hacker News have shadow banned my blog. I can still post, but the post never appears to anyone else. I'm not sure why this is the case, as one of my posts has ~350 upvotes and spent time on the front page.
What did I do wrong Hacker News?
Lobsters
I'm also totally banned from lobte.rs, they have block my domain and everything. Why? becuase I posted a link to my own blog. What a cardinal sin, banned for life not comeback. The ironic thing there is one of my posts was very popular, and also spend time on their front page. Earning them valuable clicks and discussions. How did they repay the favour? by banning me from posting and my blog from ever appearing on their site again. Thank lobste.rs.
Where else to post?
Don't know, the internet is basically just bots now. I remember years ago, let's say 10-12 years ago. I could post anywhere and real people would see, share, and discuss the content. That is not the case anymore. If you are not instantly shadow banned now, your content will drown under a flood of bot traffic and garbage.
Dead is the age of the internet troll, long live the bot.
