Maybe hit up hn@ycombinator.com and ask to remove your shadowban of sorts. Idk how effective is that.
Anyway something more concerning is that you have at least two flagged comments (in the first page at least). Flagged comments means your comments violated HN rules, at least according to other HN users. It's hard to understand the HN social etiquette but in short, if you are being mean to other people, you might get flagged. So it's largely about the tone of your comments rather than their substance. You may want to read the guidelines (the section "in comments") here https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
In my profile settings, I have showdead: yes. It makes [dead] comments show up and I guess [flagged] too. (But I think it only applies to comments of other people, not your own comments)
Keep in mind that you need karma to do many functions in this site. For example, with enough karma you can flag other people's comments, and with enough flags the comments become hidden. With more karma yet, you can vouch for comments so you can make removed comments reappear on the site
This really explains a lot. Whenever I see all the fan boys for Waymo and Apple (strangely people on this board like apple-vendor-lock-in) - and I think to myself, "who are these people, where is the 'rage against the machine' that typified the software industry pre-facebook"
So strange.
I had this weird epiphany this year - you know the Jan 6th - you know how the republicans refused to impeach Trump. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact they would let someone potentially trying to kill them off the hook.
And then it dawned on me - they were in on it. If they were in on it, everything makes perfect sense. It's the simplest solution.
But it was such a leap for me.
All of the "obviously paid for bot comments" on this site. I always thought - they just slip through - but actually, the simplest solution is that this site is propagating a narrative.
So weird. And so gross. Where did the idealism of the tech industry go? "Don't be evil," they said.
