Shadow-banning in HN works differently in that users can choose to see shadow-banned comments. If I ever felt that a user was being censored then I could (a) read the censored material, and (b) tell the user that they were being shadow-banned. This has never happened so far, I see no evidence that HN is shadow-banning as a form of political control.

You can't tell a user he's shadowbanned because posts by shadowbanned users do not have a reply button.

You can vouch for dead comments, they become visible and reply-able.

I can email or contact the other user offline.
