I agree with the sentiment, shadowbanning is a passive aggressive way to hide communities problems under the carpet by hiding them from the public
Banning is legit if done publicly with reasoning, so people can make a clear idea of what happened and why, like
> you broke rule number 3
not when it is done just to keep "the community clean" without any explanation whatsoever
I guess this is the reason why HN rules are so vague
