I'm away on Christmas vacation, but my home IP has been banned. Never been clear why, except that I have expressed some views about banking, Tesla and some well-known posters who like to bully people that aren't part of the Hackernews hivemind.
I enjoy the site as a news aggregator, but this place is an echo chamber.

- megous 9y agoThe same thing happened to me sometime in the last week. My computer was off for several days (christmas), and when I turned it on, I had an IP ban. Using proxy works, but it's a needless hassle. If I delete the cookies, everything is ok, until I click the login link. From then on all I get is 403 on all pages. Annoying to say the least is, that there doesn't seem to be any auto-unban timeout. And I don't comment all that much. Last month it was a comment every three days or so. It made me think about the value of commenting for me and I decided to stop posting and lurk. Most of the value for me is in the lurking anyway.
