Hard to say, show some stuff that got you downvoted? Usually HN wants comments that add to the idea being discussed. Flames or various ad hominem attacks are not well received.
Were you attacked or your ideas unloved?
- baremetal 5y agoi generally add to the discourse. Anytime i voice an opinion that isnt left leaning i get downvoted big time.

- cassepipe 5y agoI see frequent complaining everywhere from right wingers that you can't say anything no more without ever saying what it is that it is that can't be expressed no more. Since I have seen right wing discourses and authoritarian m/order-first-and-above-all on the rise almost everywhere in the world, I wouldn't be too worried. Democratic and open societies are being pushed back constantly and checks to political powers removed. From my left leaning perspective, it seems to be part of a general strategy not to engage debate on some issues while still appearing as the ones who want debate. On HN, I have always seen ideas, even ones I am not really comfortable with being responded to and engaged.
- detaro 5y agoapparently they thought > sure, california is basically uninhabitable as it is, might as well leave the door open to make it official. didn't deserve to be downvoted.
- newbie789 5y agoThe poster in this case is intentionally trying to astroturf the idea that they are somehow a victim of an imaginary social force by posting bullshit and then whining when people prefer not to read said bullshit. It’s a pathological impulse of a person that’s unwell.
