Ask HN: Does anyone know why my comment is not displayed?

I've left this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42447778 about an hour ago, but when I log out it's not displayed. Does anyone know why?

I've created a new account, and I'm using a popular consumer-oriented VPN. I also haven't associated an email with this account.

Probably got mis-identified as spam which sometimes happens to new accounts. You should email such questions to [email protected] as https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html suggest, though.

Shows up for me in a non-logged-in tab temp container. It is not marked as dead or flagged. Try forcing a refresh, shift+F5. No idea how to do that on a phone, never browsed the web on a phone.

Looks like it's showing up for me too now. I did a soft refresh (F5) and it appeared.

I tried reloading a few times before posting without any success so I wonder what changed.

This comment above was [dead], I had to vouch for it. Maybe someone else did that with your other comment. I would go with pvg's comment and email Daniel. They get a lot of emails so it might be a day or two before you see a response.

That would explain it. I was planning on leaving this as a throwaway account, but at this point I may as well go 'legit'. I'll email Daniel and ask him to change the account name too.

I see it in incognito without a problem, even if I visit the parent thread instead of your direct link
