Any chance you can tell me why my IP was shadowbanned? I don't think I've posted anything terribly objectionable here.

Probably because you created a ton of accounts. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

Understandable. I started cycling accounts because I am worried about stylometry, but maybe I got carried away. Apologies.
Cycling accounts is not an effective way to beat stylometry ...
