The same as described in OP. Btw, it is not my personal trait, I just know how it supposed to be here and how it makes HN HN. Maybe it’s in the rules/faq, visited it pretty long ago. Edit: I think that the common idea of downvoting on HN is that it’s not your own opinion on a post content, but actually a public moderation mechanism allowing you to decide if that comment fits HN, not you, without flagging it to a moderator.
