People in this thread downvoted comments that express unpopular opinions. Even factually wrong posts should not be suppressed but corrected/challenged in a reply. As the rules state, assume good faith. Downvotes should be reserved for trolls and low effort posts. I agree that HN is much nicer than SO or Reddit, but that is largely due to the moderators here.
