This is verifiably not true.

Here's a comment [1] written by an account that is currently two hours old. Its visible to me if I'm logged in, with or without showdead enabled. Its also visible in an incognito tab where I'm not logged-in.

As others have said, you probably posted something that triggered a filter.

A significant percentage of new accounts are advertising, AI bots, account farming, or other behavior not permitted by the Hacker News guidelines so it's fine if the automatic moderation system is a little heavy handed. New users whose comments have been mistakenly marked as [dead] can contact the HN site administrators directly using the information on the contact page linked at the bottom of the page to request that their comments be restored.
