Kindelia is a p2p decentralized computer I'm building. It is essentially a massively distilled version of Ethereum. It is massively simpler (<10k LOC), more efficient (up to 867x more SSTORE/second under the same usage level), and secure (since it supports Agda, Lean, Kind and other proof languages natively). It is completely decentralized, there is no pre-mine (in fact, there isn't even a currency). My post was 100% respectful and fair, I was just explaining the tech, no ads, no sales. I was banned because I posted a new tech.

This has to be exposed. If people can't create and propose new projects, then it has became a rigged game that only the elite can win. How is that better than fiat?

This is what happens on centralized platforms like Reddit. Understand that the mods can’t tell the difference between your white paper and an ico scam “white paper” so to protect their users they just remove any new project announcement by default. I modded a smaller cryptocurrency sub back in the day and that was the only time efficient outcome.

A White paper announcement shouldn’t be made on Reddit anyways… the “traditional” way is a bitcointalk.org thread. The real traditional way is via an email list…

TLDR; make /r/kindelia and post it there. No other subreddit owes you anything and to think they do isn’t productive.

Hope this helps.

I suspect marketing it as a decentralized computer that "doesn't have a cryptocurrency" makes it not a good fit for /r/cryptocurrency (probably a better fit for /r/cryptotechnology), though I think a shadow-ban is pretty excessive as a response

And to the point about it "not having a cryptocurrency" I didn't get a response on my last comment on Kindelia (copied below), but I think saying it "doesn't have a currency" is misleading, to be generous:

    This is interesting. It's "not a cryptocurrency" in the sense that the network doesn't have an official token for paying transaction fees. My understanding is that users would still pay fees to make transactions, they can just pay those fees however they want (assuming other tokens of value are supported on the network).
    There is still a cryptocurrency that produced for a block reward, used to incentivize proof of work consensus (it's not clear to me why proof of stake wouldn't be possible since there is a limited supply of this reward token), so it seems dishonest to claim Kindelia is a p2p computer that "isn't a cryptocurrency"
Well, I didn't think about that possibility. Perhaps that's what happened, yes. But why not just remove the post and let me know the reason? This is really sketchy to me. It feels like manipulation, but perhaps I'm being unfair.
mods cant shadow ban. only admins can.
So Reddit mods shadow-banned me on /r/cryptocurrency for posting a technology? I wonder why they'd do that.
No, they are saying that Reddit mods can’t shadow ban you. Reddit mods and Reddit admins are completely separate groups of people.

Reddit the website has algorithms that likely shadow bans new accounts after they’ve received x amount of moderator action.

What proof do you have that you are shadowbanned across Reddit? Mods can only nonshadow ban you from their subreddit.

Just a tip: Consider getting more clarity into the situation before making multiple public posts elsewhere in the future! Despite trying to read for best intentions - The passive aggressiveness in your tone isn’t helping anything.

Reddit mods on a power trip remove post because it broke some unspecific subreddit rule. More news at 11.
