As far as I can see you are not shadow banned. Just very, very dowvoted.

It seems like neither, his account was publicly and explicitly banned "for using HN primarily for political/ideological battle".

I'm guessing people vouched for his post here, despite the fact that it's really continuing to do the same...

Enough flags will counter a vouch.

He was originally regular banned at some point.
