I mean... I guess I understand, maybe just the threshold feels a little high for introverts like me (and the others who have commented here with accounts lasting many years and <501 karma). Also, for some reason, I sorta had the assumption that HN users wouldn't be that level of malicious (maybe because these rules exist, or maybe because they seem smarter than the average bear, or maybe because I'm crazy and see HN as some getaway paradise oasis that I can escape to and get some rational reasonable informative content).

  Well, I can't downvote you, as you know, nor would I if I had the ability, (nor have you had any downvotes yet from what I can tell) but I feel like they are coming. But, hey, internet points, who cares... right? There is a groupthink in tech, and media, and commerce in general, and yes probably even here on HN. The extent of which, I cannot speak to, so I will leave it to someone more knowledgeable. And can't say I know much about the Stasi, but this sentence: >I had my comments removed for benign stuff like blockchain driven shared database will usher participatory democracy, a pattern of Hinduphobic posts on HN and a class systems existing in US and UK with Ivy leaguers and Eton graduates. I have read a few times and still don't understand. I'm assuming this is the reasoning they gave when they removed your comment(s)? I feel like I understand all the words, just not sure if it's you saying you were being Hinduphobic, or if it was them saying you were being Hinduphobic. At the same time I feel, of course there is a class system in the US and UK, that's basically undeniable. How much of it revolves around schooling is, once again, a question for someone other than me.
