No, I am claiming there is an unwritten rule of manually downranking comments that go against the atmosphere of blissful naivity on HN. And I think it is going to impact the overall discussion quality in the long term as we shift focus from facts to rumors.
- ziddoap 4y ago>as we shift focus from facts to rumors. Sort of like... claiming there is a conspiracy about downvoting comments? Seems like a non-factual claim with no evidence (also could be called a rumor). The simple answer would be that some people agreed with you and then later some other people disagreed. Combine that with people posting other comments after you, and other comments having significantly more engagement than yours.
