First of all, tone down the aggression. People are constantly harping on about how much better HN is than everywhere else on the internet. Your reply lends the lie to that complete fiction. Take a moment to reflect on your own communication style before dismissing others' comments "pure garbage". Second, I agree with the post you're replying to. Regarding accreditation, the point is that it effectively makes no difference whether QS or THE ranks your university as No. 6 or No. 106. They're both pretty good. But everyone knows that there's variation in the quality of graduate of any given university, and they take that into account. It will make a difference, however, if the university is ranked in the 600+ category. That institution would probably be grouped in with "the rest". If you're looking for certain jobs in finance, law or academia, then the institution matters much more. Those areas are perhaps not quite as meritocratic as they should be. However, if you're applying for a graduate tech job in the EU, it really, really doesn't matter that much if you got a 1.1 from Cambridge or a 1.1 from Dublin City University. Both will probably get you an interview, depending on what else is on your CV. And at that point it's a level playing field - the interviewers won't be dazzled by the name of your college, they'll just grill you to make sure you know what you need to know and can learn fast enough to be useful in the company.
