Xbox controllers work pretty seamlessly on Microsoft platforms.

But I don't get why HN is randomly shadowbanning half my comments and not the other half! This one wasn't shadowbanned.

Usually means your comments are getting flagged by other users. I’m not going to dig through your comments to speculate on why, but I don’t think there are any automated filters that will kill only some of your comments.

They're instantly pre-flagged upon posting and some others aren't.

This one came pre-flagged.

Probably your account is shadowbanned but people with showdead on are individually vouching for some comments which unbans those comments only.

Instantly when posting them?

The game has changed. Now I can only post a few times per hour and they're automatically flagged. No moderator has given me any contact to explain what I'm being punished for, so I guess I'll be making a new account and hope the same glitch doesn't occur again.
