He's full of beans, man. This site loves contrarian views, so long as they're even slightly supported by facts or anecdata.
The main thing that gets downvoted is angry tirades without evidence, and it happens to most political views/religious views no matter what side they're on.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoYou’re assuming everyone in HN downvotes just like you. How do you know that?
- Jensson 4y agoYou can see which comments get downvoted, read them and thus learn others preferences.
- w1nst0nsm1th 4y agoHow do you downvote ? I only have an up arrow.
- clolege 4y agoYou need 500 karma to do it
- 4ggr0 4y agoDo you know how the flag-function works? Sometimes I'm able to flag comments, other times the button isn't present.
- clolege 4y agoIt looks like I can only flag comments once I tap reply? You apparently also need 31 karma to do so https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439437
- Firmwarrior 4y agoI'm just going by the posts I've seen dead and grayed out Usually it's flame wars and nonsensical rants where the commenter appears to be off their medication Meanwhile people are happy to have all sorts of conversations that will get you canceled elsewhere about gender, race, and vaccines (so long as the conversations are analytical anyway)
