I don't think you are shadowbanned, i can see your comment. You're welcome on HN anytime you want to come back. Btw., when i first came accross HN, some 10 years ago, i had this same fear of being shadowbanned. Heh.

GP is shadowbanned. That comment isn't dead, probably just because it was vouched by someone.

GP was banned by dang for "ideological battle": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26809778

GP obviously has strong political views. I don't think the problem is necessarily that they have those strong views, but they could learn how to express them in ways that sound more constructive and less confrontational. I think it is the confrontational tone, combined with the fact that they don't comment much on non-political topics, which leads to the "ideological battle" label, and consequent ban.

Thanks for the explanation. I often forget how good we have it on HN, until I spend some time over on twitter or reddit.
