That's strange. I didn't do anything and it still appears on the site in my browser. Did they add "shadow bans" to HN? That was one reason for me to turn my back on Facebook (and the fact that interesting discussions suddenly disappeared later on). I took me more than half an hour to re-check all sources; I (we) probably shouldn't spend that much time on comments anymore.
There are shadowbans on HN, but you are not shadowbanned. Some assholes just flagged your comment, that's all. I appreciate the comment, and will respond to it in due course — I don't want to depend on my own memories here, but also to re-check the sources myself.
