Why would HN ever do this? HN has become an echo chamber of specific views. The censoring reminds me of 'safe spaces' we now have at universities. Nobody wants to even see text they disagree with, so they downvote it. It really makes it difficult for us to have open and honest conversations. I suspect that people are either using bots to down vote (which would be so easy on this site), or manually down voting people they don't like (regardless of the comments). A few months back, I posted a few comments with a different account that were down voted. From then on, everything I posted went to 0 or -1 within an hour or so (even comments that were on topic, friendly, and agreeable). We really need a better system where trolls are removed, but personally disagreeable comments stay. It means that unless you completely agree with the current narrative, your voice gets silenced. I thought we were better than this.
